Contact lens method (CLM) is an alternative option to measure corneal power by evaluating the difference of patient’s over-refraction with rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens to manifest refraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of CLM using spherical (CLMspherical) and aspheric (CLMaspheric) RGP lenses in measuring corneal re

Post-myopic laser refractive surgery corneal power measurement for intraocular lens power calculation is one of the most challenging issues in cataract surgery. Standard keratometry measurement is likely to be overestimated which could lead to false-low intraocular lens power. As a result, this can lead to hyperopic surprise. Contact lens method is
