Abstract
- We analyzed corneal astigmatism 2 months after extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation using scleral pocket incision to minimize postoperative corneal astigmatism. Among the patients who were operated between July 1993 and April 1994, 25 eyes of 20 patients could be followed up over 2 months. Keratometric and refractive measurements were obtained before and at every week after operation. The mean postoperative refractive astigmatism was +1.42D at 1 week, +0.02D at 8 weeks and mean postoperative keratometric astigmatism was +1.58D at 1 week, -0.17D at 8 weeks. Our results suggest that extracapsular cataract extraction using scleral pocket incision has the advantage of decreasing early postoperative astigmatic change.
