Factors affecting changes in astigmatism before and after suture removal following penetrating keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To analyze the factors related to changes in astigmatism before and after suture removal in patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS The study group consisted of 171 consecutive PKs in 171 patients. Keratometric astigmatism was measured before and after suture removal in all patients. The vectorial difference for each eye was calculated between the examination bef...
متن کاملAstigmatism following cataract surgery.
The changes in corneal curvature were determined at regular intervals over a one-year period following intracapsular cataract extraction by microsurgical techniques. During the first postoperative month photokeratometric measurements showed rapid changes in astigmatism associated with large changes in the direction of the axis. Thereafter astigmatism against-the-rule predominated. Data from the...
متن کاملAstigmatism following retinal detachment surgery.
Eighty-three patients on whom successful retinal detachment had been performed were studied to note astigmatic changes following surgery. In the majority of cases the errors following such surgery are of no great clinical importance. However, in some situations a high degree of astigmatism may be produced. This study showed that these sequelae are particularly likely after radial buckling proce...
متن کاملCorneal astigmatism following cataract extraction.
The changes in corneal curvature in the first six months after cataract extraction were studied by performing sequential keratometry on a group of 57 patients. 8/0 Virgin silk interrupted sutures were used for the closure of corneoscleral incisions, and 10/0 monofilament tied in double running (bootlace) or single running (continuous) fashion was used for corneal wound closure. A high degree of...
