All values out of the normal range are in italics.
All means of the Fourier series harmonic analysis and of the HOA RMS are out of the normal range.
The irregular astigmatism within the Fourier series harmonic analysis (asymmetry and higher order irregularity) is out of the normal range in all patients.
Reg ast 3 mm, central regular astigmatism; Reg ast 6 mm, peripher regular astigmatism.
HOA RMS error, root mean square error of the higher order aberrations (third to sixth order).
