Abstract

A new method for reconstructing 3-D corneal curvature is proposed which makes use of polynomials to represent the profile of the human cornea. It is shown that the anterior surface of the human cornea can be represented by a group of polynomials, and hence the corneal radius of the curvature can be derived without the assumption of an elliptical or spherical model.
