Comparison of Corneal Power and Astigmatism between Simulated Keratometry, True Net Power, and Total Corneal Refractive Power before and after SMILE Surgery
Table 1
Comparisons of the preoperative corneal cylindrical errors between simulated keratometry (simKa), true net power (TNPa), and total corneal refractive power (TCRPa) from 1 mm to 8 mm. All values were adjusted for the corneal plane using a vertex distance of 12 mm.

Magnitude represented the magnitude of the vector difference. |Angle| was defined as the mean absolute values of the arithmetic difference between the axis of two corneal astigmatisms. It was defined always to be an acute angle.
