Decentration error during Lasik

Meridional refraction error [dpt] as function of location. The ablation profile is decentered by 0.3mm to the right und 0.3mm upwards.

An ideal aspherical profile is intended. The decentration causes a much higher refraction error than in case of the spherical ablation profile.

Pure spherical profile is intended. This is approximately achieved despite the decentration.
