Popis: PURPOSE To evaluate the value of total keratometry (TK) to estimate corneal power in eyes that underwent SMILE for treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism in subgroups of low and high astigmatism. METHODS The difference between preoperative and postoperative measurements of corneal power (ΔTCRP, ΔTK) was compared with the surgically induced refractive change at the corneal plane (ΔSEco) by Pearson correlation. Vector analysis of TCRP- and TK-derived astigmatism was performed to evaluate the corneal astigmatism. Single-angle plots were generated with the AstigMATIC tool for standard astigmatism vector analysis. RESULTS Paired t-test revealed statistically significant differences in preoperative (p = .02) and postoperative (p = .0455) measurements between TK and TCRP in the group of high-level astigmatism and the postoperative low astigmatism group (p
