Reply: Let us be clear: A cornea has no axis; A cornea has meridians

摘要

I am grateful to Dr. Eggink for her further clarification of the terminology that should apply to the cornea, which indeed has meridians and no axes. The purpose of my editorial was to rectify the prevalent use of the term axis in JCRS manuscripts in particular and elsewhere in general usage when applied to the cornea. I trust the comments will enhance that message.-Emanuel S. Rosen, MD, FRCSEd
