Non-Surgical Treatment of Astigmatism

چکیده
Eyeglasses are a choice for correction for people with regular astigmatism and it doesn’t improve vision for irregular astigmatism. They will contain a cylindrical lens prescription for the astigmatism in a specific meridian of the lens which designates the axis of the lens power. Myopia or hyperopia can be associated to astigmatism. Generally, a single vision lens is prescribed so as to provide clear vision at all distances. However, for patients over the age of 40 who have presbyopia, a bifocal or progressive addition lens may be needed in order to focus effectively for near vision work.

The Effect of Epiblepharon Surgery on Visual Acuity and With-the-Rule Astigmatism in Children
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of epiblepharon surgery on visual acuity and with-the-rule astigmatism in children compared to patients without surgical treatment. METHODS We undertook a retrospective case control study and reviewed the charts of 202 eyes treated with epiblepharon surgery and of 142 eyes without surgery. The surgical procedure for epiblepharon correction used rotating suture t...

Background and Objective: Astigmatism is a common complication of penetrating (PK) and Lamellar (LK) keratoplasty that may cause surgical failure due to visual disturbances. In this study, the efficacy of scar revision just at the surgical incision was evaluated. Materials and Methods: In this prospective interventional case-series study, scar revision was performed in nineteen post-PK or LK as...

T he treatment of moderate to high astigmatism is challenging for the refractive surgeon. Even in experienced hands, 40% of patients who undergo penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) are left with more than 4.00 D of astigmatism.1 Spectacles, contact lenses, excimer laser ablation, toric IOLs, and tissue-relaxing procedures have been used for a long time in the treatment of preexisting and postsurgica...
متن کاملAstigmatism and the analysis of its surgical correction.
Modern cataract and refractive surgery aims not only to improve vision but to provide a good unaided visual acuity. Correcting astigmatic errors and control of surgically induced astigmatism are now an integral part of such operative procedures. Technological innovations and surgical developments in recent times have provided new methods for correction of astigmatism. However, evaluating the ou...
متن کاملEvaluation of the orientation of the steepest meridian of regular astigmatism among highly myopic Egyptian patients seeking non-ablative surgical correction of the refractive error
INTRODUCTION LASIK surgery is currently the preferred procedure to correct low to moderate myopia. The aim of this study was to determine the orientation of the steepest meridian of regular astigmatism in order to determine the relative incidence of vertical, horizontal, and oblique regular astigmatism among highly myopic Egyptian patients seeking non-ablative surgical correction of the refract...
