PurposeAspheric planning in laser refractive surgery remains difficult: surgeons often rely on empirical nomo-grams or simple linear regression for defocus and astigmatism, while console Q-factor modulation yields a variably predictable effect on asphericity and an inconsistent cross-effect on defocus. This translational methods proof-of-concept frames planning as supervised prediction of console-programmable inputs (de-focus, astigmatism, Q-factor) and evaluates competing models; it is not a cl...
