| Abstract;We evaluated the changes in corneal astigmatism during 2 years after sutureless cataract surgery in 40 eyes through 3.2mm temporal incisions. Surgery was performed through clear corneal incision in 20 eyes and through sclerocorneal incision in the other 20 eyes. Both axial and surgically induced astigmatism were less in the latter group. The difference was significant up to one year after surgery. Surgically induced astigmatism averaged 0.42.+-.0.24D in the former group and 0.32.+-.0.20D in the latter. By corneal topography, corneal changes decreased after initial slight flattening near the site of sclerocorneal incision. They showed persistent marked flattening near the site of clear corneal incision with vertical steepening from the early postoperative period. Surgically induced corneal astigmatism remained, although slight in amount, 2 years after surgery in both groups receiving 3.2mm temporal incision. (author abst.) |
