| Abstract;In 39 eyes with pterygium, divided into three groups according to pterygium size (Group 1, 2 and 3) and preoperative corneal astigmatism (slight, moderate, severe), we studied changes in astigmatism and visual acuity following excision surgery. Autorefractometry was used in evaluating the changes. At one-month follow-up, pterygium removal was found to cause significant against-the-rule-astigmatism and moderate to severe astigmatism in group 2 and 3. In 28 eyes (71.8 %), visual acuity improved. The cases in group 3 and severe astigmatism group showed significant improvement. Surgical treatment for pterygium should be considered in Group 1, 2 cases with astigmatism greater than 2.25 D, and group 3. (author abst.) |
