RST Calculator

Estimate residual stromal thickness after entering Corneal thickness and Flap/Cap thickness.

Measurements

Minus-cylinder notation. Use the measured thicknesses; values are not prefilled.

Estimated result

Residual stromal thickness


Ablation depth

How to interpret the result

RST = corneal thickness − flap/cap thickness − ablation depth. The 300 µm marker matches the app’s warning setting; it does not establish surgical safety or suitability. Confirm against the treatment platform’s planning output and the full clinical assessment.
