- The cornea is a part of the eye that refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power123. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres1. The cornea is also one of the main contributors to the optical power of the eye and acts as an anterior refractive surface for the eye3. Central corneal power can be measured by keratometry or corneal topography4.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.

In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorneaThe relaxed eye has an approximate optical power of 60 diopters (D) (ie, its focal length is 16.7 mm in air), with the corneal power being about 40 D, or two thirds of the total power.www.aao.org/education/munnerlyn-laser-surgery-c…The cornea is also one of the main contributors to the optical power of the eye and acts as an anterior refractive surface for the eye. Light that shines through the cornea is partially refracted before reaching the lens thus reducing blurred or unfocused vision.www.kenhub.com/en/library/anatomy/corneaTo simplify the calculation, the cornea is assumed to be a thin spherical lens with a fixed anterior to posterior corneal curvature ratio and an index of refraction of 1.3375. Central corneal power can be measured by keratometry or corneal topography. Corneal radius of curvature relates to corneal power with the equation: r = 337.5/K.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power_calcu…

Corneal power is calculated by inputting IOL-Master biometry as follows: axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and keratometry (corneal radii). This formula is a regression formula based on statistics.
