In a prospective series of 45 eyes treated consecutively with PRK using a SCHWIND ESIRIS excimer laser, an IOLMaster measurement of the change in corneal curvature did not correlate well with the refractive change, or with the equivalent K readings from the Holladay Report in the Pentacam, requiring a corrective regression formula for the IOLMaster readings.
