Corneal 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...
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 کاملCorneal astigmatism after micro-incision cataract operation.
GOALS To evaluate the effect of micro-incision (2.2 mm) and small-incision (3.0 mm) coaxial phaco-emulsification on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA). METHODS Cataract patients (n = 60, 60 eyes) were randomized into two groups: 30 eyes in the 2.2-mm incision group, 30 eyes in the 3,0-mm group. Phaco-emulsification was followed by intraocular lens implantation via the Monarch II injector wi...
متن کاملChange in Astigmatism After Temporal Clear Corneal Cataract Extraction in the Pediatric Population
PURPOSE To evaluate the early postoperative change in astigmatism in pediatric patients having cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation using sutured temporal clear corneal incision. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on all pediatric patients who underwent clear corneal cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation between 12/01/2005 and 11/30/2006. RESU...
متن کاملCorneal astigmatism in leprosy and its importance for cataract surgery
Background: In leprosy, the eyes are frequently affected and many patients were found to have a higher degree of corneal astigmatism than expected during their routine cataract work up. Aim: To compare pre-existing (before any surgical intervention) corneal astigmatism in leprosy patients as compared to age-matched normal controls. Methods: A retrospective study was done, using the charts of le...
