Abstract

The predictability and quality of results in corneal refractive laser surgery are determined by a number of factors. Here, the calculation and choice of the ablation profile represent central elements. Our growing knowledge about the physical and optical properties of the eye in recent years has led to the development of different strategies in the generation of ablation profiles. This review describes the currently used ablation profiles with their advantages and disadvantages and provides an outlook on future methods for the calculation of ablation profiles.
