Achieved correction vs. Attempted correction with Nomogram 5. The achieved spherical equivalent change correlated with the attempted change (p < 0.0001), and the absolute magnitude of the achieved cylindrical change (cardinal and oblique components analysis) with the attempted change (p < 0.0001). The nomogram correction differs significantly from the preoperative refraction for sphere (p < 0.0001) and for astigmatism (p < 0.001). The nomogram proposes a − 5% reduction in sphere with a − 0.41 D bias, and a − 1% reduction of the cylinder with a + 0.01 D bias. A refraction of − 2.50 D sphere with − 1.50 D astigmatism at 63 degrees should be planned as − 2.75 D sphere with − 1.52 D astigmatism at 63 degrees
