Corneal surgery and disorders

PURPOSE: To evaluate topographic findings, manifest refraction in keratoconic cases, and compare those parameters with respect to age and gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four hundred eighty-two eyes of 248 patients (153 male and 95 female) with keratoconus were separated into 3 groups based on their ages (group 1: <21…

In a turbulent atmosphere, starting with a cos-Gaussian excitation at the source plane, the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. This average intensity profile is evaluated against the variations of link lengths, turbulence levels, two frequently used free-space optics wavelengths, and beam d…
