TL;DRAbstract

Potential causes for increased asphericity (radial changes in laser efficiency, epithelial healing, and biomechanical response) are discussed. These conclusions are important for the design of optimized and customized ablation algorithms, since the theoretical performance of a given ablation algorithm (ie, Munnerlyn algorithm) can differ drastically from real outcomes.
