Abstract
Conclusions In eyes of patients with good visual acuity (20/20 to 20/40), corneal power measurements by CLO and keratometry were similar. The accuracy of the CLO-derived value decreased with increasing media opacity but was still acceptable with acuity of 20/70. Contact lens overrefraction may be a viable alternative to refractive history and videokeratography for estimating true corneal power in patients with surgically altered or irregular corneas.Keywords
