Abstract
The point of centration for refractive surgery is a theme of great importance that generates considerable discussion among specialists and surgeons in the field. Notably, any changes in light can alter the size of the pupil, and the visual axis of the fixation line to the fovea is unique in each patient. A variety of options have been described in the literature with respect to centration in refractive surgery, and the results differ among these methods. No consensus has been established regarding the ideal refractive surgery technique for evaluation of centration in each patient that will yield a satisfactory surgical result.
