Title

Iol Calculations after Previous Refractive Surgery

Purpose	To evaluate a new technique in our diagnostic tools.
Methods	The theory of aberrometry will be explained.
Results	In cases of visual complaints, aberrometry goes beyond refraction and standard topographical maps: it helps us to understand why some patients remain unhappy after refractive surgery, despite of a perfect procedure and a perfect anatomical result. Some examples will be presented.
Conclusion	Aberrometry is an invaluable tool for the clinician and the surgeon; however, it is time consuming, requires a perfectly trained technician, and is more difficult to interprete than corneal topography.
