ESTIMATION OF CORNEA EFFECTIVE ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT AT 213 NM FROM ABLATION MEASUREMENTS
Abstract
It is shown experimentally that a cornea represents a 213 nm UV inhomogeneous material both at depth and around a surface in relation to UV effective absorption coefficient and local laser depth ablation rate, which should be taken into account for a more exact planning of a profile of removed cornea collagen material during eye vision correction.
