ABSTRACT:
A method of using rastophotogrammetry and Placido-disc videokeratoscopy in ophthalmological surgery to calibrate a surgical laser wherein the effect of laser ablation on various substrates is measured by performing rastophotogrammetry or Placido-disc videokeratoscopy on the substrate before and after laser ablation to determine whether there is a uniform ablation and no unwanted effects created by the laser. The substrate can be calibration block, an intraoccular lens implant, a contact lens, an artificial cornea, or cornea.
