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 کاملSurgically induced astigmatism after 3.0 mm temporal and nasal clear corneal incisions in bilateral cataract surgery
AIMS To compare the corneal refractive changes induced after 3.0 mm temporal and nasal corneal incisions in bilateral cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study comprised a consecutive case series of 60 eyes from 30 patients with bilateral phacoemulsification that were implanted with a 6.0 mm foldable intraocular lens through a 3.0 mm horizontal clear corneal incision (tem...
متن کاملSurgically induced astigmatism after phacoemulsification by temporal clear corneal and superior clear corneal approach: a comparison
Introduction Cataract surgery has undergone various advances since it was evolved from ancient couching to the modern phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) remains one of the most common complications. The introduction of sutureless clear corneal incision has gained increasing popularity worldwide because it offers several advantages over the traditional sut...
متن کاملManagement of Corneal Astigmatism by Limbal Relaxing Incisions during Cataract Surgery
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) for corneal astigmatism correction during phacoemulsification Methods: 24 eyes of 24 patients with the mean age of 65.71 years (range: 55 to 83 years) with senile cataracts and mean corneal astigmatism of 1.9±0.83 diopters (D) (range: 1.5 to 3.5 D) were included in this study. All LRIs were performed during phacoem...
متن کاملDynamic morphology of clear corneal cataract incisions.
OBJECTIVE Clear corneal cataract incisions without sutures allow for rapid visual rehabilitation after phacoemulsification but might be associated with an increased risk of postoperative infection. The goal of this study was to examine in vitro dynamic changes in unhealed clear corneal cataract incisions that might adversely affect the risk of intraocular infection. DESIGN Laboratory investig...
