residual refractive errors following cataract surgery and its determinants

چکیده
purpose: to evaluate residual refractive errors after cataract surgery and its determinant factors at farabi eye hospital, tehran. methods: simple random sampling was done among cataract surgery scheduled patients over a 4 year period (2003-2006). exclusion criteria were uveitis, previous intraocular surgery and ocular trauma. after applying the exclusion criteria, 423 patients were studied. lens calculation was performed using the srk-ii formula. unexpected refractive errors were defined as the difference between postoperative refractive errors with target refraction. mean and percentage of this variable were reported based on 0.5, 1 and 2 d of ametropia. results: of 558 studied patients, 78.1% had biometric data before and refractive data after surgery. mean absolute unpredictable refractive error was 0.84±0.89 d. eyes with normal axial length (al) had the least (0.76±0.84) and those with long al had the most unpredictable refractive errors (p<0.001). 45.9%, 73.9%, and 91.7% of the study cases had refractive errors within 0.5, 1 and 2 d of emmetropia, respectively. eyes with short al had positive refraction and those with long al had negative refraction after surgery. the majority of keratometric astigmatism followed extra-capsular surgery while the least measures were associated with phacoemulsification (p<0.001). conclusion: axial length was one of the important factors influencing residual refractive errors after cataract surgery. unpredictable refractive errors were more common in eyes with long and short al than those with normal al.

Managing residual refractive error after cataract surgery.
We present a review of keratorefractive and intraocular approaches to managing residual astigmatic and spherical refractive error after cataract surgery, including laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), arcuate keratotomy, intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, piggyback IOLs, and light-adjustable IOLs. Currently available literature suggests that laser vision correc...

متن کاملSurgical options for correction of refractive error following cataract surgery
Refractive errors are frequently found following cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange. Accurate biometric analysis, selection and calculation of the adequate intraocular lens (IOL) and modern techniques for cataract surgery all contribute to achieving the goal of cataract surgery as a refractive procedure with no refractive error. However, in spite of all these advances, residual refra...
