The Angle of Error between the SIA and the TIA
Updated on version: 1.0.1

angErr

The Angle of Error is the difference of angle between the SIA and the TIA and represents the rotation of the Surgically Induced Astigmatism in reference to the Target Induced Astigmatism.

EXAMPLE PLOT:

The Angle of Error between the SIA and the TIA

DESCRIPTION:

The Angle of Error is the difference of angle between the SIA and the TIA and represents the rotation of the Surgically Induced Astigmatism in reference to the Target Induced Astigmatism.

This function calculates the standardized Graph H detailed in the Journal of Refractive Surgery(1) from a single vector that contains the Angle of Error from the sample.

This graph has the limitation of not considering the Magnitude of Error (ME). For example, we can have a case with a ME of 1 D and an AE of 0º and another case of 0.1 D of ME and an AE of 50º, observing the graph we would give an excessive importance to the AE of 50º when its ME is not clinically relevant.

Online Course

How to obtain the Toolbox?

The Refractive Analysis is an Open Source Toolbox for Matlab developed by Rodríguez-Vallejo M for the Analysis of Vision Science Results. It is freely available for the students of our online course but you need the Matlab software to use it. Matlab software is not provided with the course.

How to enroll and follow the course?

You can enroll in the course by means of the Udemy Platform and follow the course on the same platform or through Udemy App for IOS or Android.

When the course starts and finish?

The course is asynchronous which means that it has no start or end date. The student can register whenever he wants and view the materials at his own pace.

After purchasing the course you will have lifetime access to the materials through the Udemy platform. This means that even if you complete the visualization of all the materials you will be able to access them again whenever you want to go over the content again or to the updates.

Will I have a certificate once I finish the course?

When you complete the visualization of all course materials, Udemy will provide you a certificate of course completion. You will not have to take any tests to obtain this certificate, only complete the viewing of the materials.
