Another method of post-LASIK corneal power estimation is one that was originally described by the well-known refractive surgeon Robert Maloney and subsequently modified by Doug Koch and Li Wang.
...
The advantage of this method is that it requires no historical data and has been reported to have a low variance when used with either the Holliday 2 formula or a 2-variable formula combined with an Aramberri double K method correction nomogram published by Koch and Wang.2
Using this technique, the central corneal power is estimated by placing the cursor at the exact center of the Axial Map of the Zeiss Humphrey Atlas topographer.

Another method of post-LASIK corneal power estimation was originated by Doug Koch and Li Wang and is based on determining the central power of the cornea using either the Zeiss Humphrey Atlas topographer or the adjusted effective refractive power (EffRPadj) of the Holladay Diagnostic Summary of the EyeSys Corneal Analysis System.
