Before and 3\u00a0months after surgery, the astigmatism of the cornea was measured with the aid of Pentacam. The variables influencing the efficacy of FSAK were assessed using the multiple regression analysis technique. Vector analyses were carried out. To determine the net corneal alterations, the with-the-wound and against-the-wound variations were computed along the FSAKs\u2019 meridian.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> This study investigated 80 eyes from 62 participants. The average keratometric astigmatism value was 0.92 \u00b1 0.44 diopters (D).
