The accuracy of corneal astigmatism measurements were measured by the vector difference with post-cataract surgery manifest refraction. LASIK = laser in situ keratomileusis; PRK = photorefractive keratectomy; RK = radial keratectomy; WTR = with-the-rule astigmatism; ATR = against-the-rule astigmatism; D = diopter.
