Purpose: Corneal front-surface asphericity is directly related with the optical quality of the eye and with contact lenses fitting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the corneal asphericity as a function of age, sex, and refractive error measured with autokeratometry and corneal topography and its long-term changes (5- to 10-year period)....

... As in other studies, we observed that corneal spherical aberration varies greatly among individuals [10]. In both cases -refraction of the outer paraxial rays by far greater amount than central rays (positive spherical aberration) and refraction of the outer paraxial rays by a lesser amount than central rays (negative spherical aberration) -the end effect causes a longitudinal spread of focus. ...
