Abstract
Background:
There are numerous techniques for dealing with astigmatism both during and after cataract surgery. Good uncorrected post-operative distance visual acuity can be obtained for high percentage of cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
Aim:
The aim of this study to evaluate refraction changes after phacoemulsification with corneal incision 2.8 mm
Material &Methods:
Thirty patients presenting with cataract underwent phacoemulsification surgery with procedure clear corneal incision on steep axis in their eye, targeting emmetropia
Results:
A total of thirty eyes underwent phacoemulsfication cataract surgery with clear corneal incision on steep axis had mean residual astigmatism of 0.45 D and SD achieved 0.58.
Conclusion:
If right modality to tackle pre-operative astigmatism along with cataract is considered, the patient can be given 6\6 vision and can enjoy life with no dependence on spectacles and also patient may not require another refractive surgery to tackle the residual astigmatism.
Keywords:
Clear corneal incision, incision o n steep axis, phacoemulsification, surgically induced astigmatism.
