Zusammenfassung:[...]the K-values changed from 42.61/43.27 @ 41° to 42.88/43.72 @ 53° (a difference in average ? of 0.36 D and in axis of 12°) and 0.8 D increase in average pupil power. Had we based the surgical plan on initial data without the benefit of punctal occlusion, the patient would likely have ended up with a manifest refraction of -0.75 + 0.75 x 045 at best. [...]preoperative treatment can mean the difference between needing to perform an enhancement procedure on an unsatisfied patient and having a very satisfied patient with a premium lens.
