Abstract
Matrix calculations are applied to Gaussian optics in the study of myo pic correction by photorefractive keratectomy. The Colliac(TM) matrix formula determines the postoperative anterior curvature radius of the treated cornea. it also calculates the maximal depth of the removed co rneal tissue and the ablation zone diameter needed to achieve emmetrop ia.
