For this, we compute a point-to-point correction on the cornea while assuming a non-linear (including a quadratic term) fit for depth ablation. Post-surgical equations for refractive parameters using a non-linear fit show significant differences with respect to parameters obtained from a linear fit (Lambert-Beer’s law). Differences were also significant for corneal aberrations. These results show that corneal-ablation algorithms should include analytical information on deviations from Lambert-Beer’s law for achieving an accurate eye correction.}, organization = {This research was supported by the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, Spain (grant BFM2003-1492).}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, keywords = {Ablation of tissue}, keywords = {Ophthalmology}, keywords = {Lambert-Beer's law}, title = {Deviations of Lambert-Beer’s law affect corneal refractive parameters after refractive surgery}, doi = {10.1364/OE.14.005411}, author = {Jiménez Cuesta, José Ramón and Rodríguez Marín, Francisco and González Anera, María Del Rosario and Jiménez Del Barco Jaldo, Luis Miguel}, }
