| Sumario: | This thesis by Dr. Taimi Cárdenas Díaz focuses on evaluating corneal power post-photoablative surgery for accurate intraocular lens calculation in patients who have undergone myopia or hypermetropia correction using excimer laser. Conducted at the Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology 'Ramón Pando Ferrer' from 2008 to 2013, the study compares corneal measurements obtained from the Pentacam topographer with other clinical methods. The research highlights the Holladay Report module of the Pentacam as providing the most consistent corneal power readings, suitable for intraocular lens calculations in cataract patients with prior refractive surgery. This work contributes to ophthalmic practices by refining lens calculation methods, aiming to improve visual outcomes for patients. The intended audience includes medical professionals in ophthalmology, particularly those specializing in refractive and cataract surgery.
