    Abstract:

    AIM: To analyze the clinical factors influencing the human vision corrections via the changing of ocular components of human eye in various applications; and to analyze refractive state via a new effective axial length. METHODS: An effective eye model was introduced by the ocular components of human eye including refractive indexes, surface radius (r1, r2, R1, R2) and thickness (t, T) of the cornea and lens, the anterior chamber depth (S1) and the vitreous length (S2). Gaussian optics was used to calculate the change rate of refractive error per unit amount of ocular components of a human eye (the rate function M). A new criterion of myopia was presented via an effective axial length. RESULTS: For typical corneal and lens power of 42 and 21.9 diopters, the rate function Mj (j=1 to 6) were calculated for a 1% change of r1, r2, R1, R2, t, T (in diopters) M1=+0.485, M2=-0.063, M3=+0.053, M4=+0.091, M5=+0.012, and M6=-0.021 diopters. For 1.0 mm increase of S1 and S2, the rate functions were M7=+1.35, and M8=-2.67 diopter/mm, respectively. These rate functions were used to analyze the clinical outcomes in various applications including laser in situ keratomileusis surgery, corneal cross linking procedure, femtosecond laser surgery and scleral ablation for accommodation. CONCLUSION: Using Gaussian optics, analytic formulas are presented for the change of refractive power due to various ocular parameter changes. These formulas provide useful clinical guidance in refractive surgery and other related procedures.
