CORRELATION BETWEEN RADIUS AND ASPHERICITY<br />

topography, data in the horizontal meridian are more reliable than those of the vertical<br />

meridian, <strong>and</strong> only the radii <strong>and</strong> asphericities for the horizontal meridian are depicted.<br />

Fig. A.4. Correlation between fitted radius <strong>and</strong> asphericity, for Placido disk<br />

videokeratoscopy data of the anterior corneal surface of (a) Subject 1 <strong>and</strong> (b) Subject<br />

2. Data are fitted to non-rotationally symmetric ellipsoids. The plotted data are for the<br />

horizontal meridian.<br />

The correlation in the horizontal direction is stronger than the corresponding<br />

correlations for the vertical direction or for rotationally symmetric fits (not shown),<br />

but all correlations are highly significant (Table A.1). In general, the videokeratoskopy<br />

data show a lower correlation than the Scheimpflug-imaging data.<br />

Table A.1. Correlations between fitted radii <strong>and</strong> asphericities in the experimental data: Correlation<br />

coefficient (r), p-value of the correlation (p) <strong>and</strong> number of measurements (n). “Multiple” refers to data<br />

from a group of LASIK patients <strong>and</strong> non-operated controls.<br />
