A study on keratometry, axial length and IOL power among patients undergoing cataract surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
For ocular examination there are three diagnostic aids namely, A-scan B-scan and M-scan with these techniques, several different systems for ultrasonically evaluating patients have been evolved. Independently either only A-scan or only Bscan do provide reliable diagnostic information but a combination of both diagnostic methods gives more information. Patients undergoing cataract surgery with IO.L implantation were selected from the inpatient wards of Government General Hospital and Teaching and General Hospital. The patients were selected regardless of age and sex total number of patients examined were 50. Out of the 50 patients, sex wise distribution is 24 males (48%) and 26 were females (52%). Age wise distribution showed that maximum number of patients tend to be in 51-60 age group. The number of cases tend to increase with age upto 60 years where the number of cases operated are maximum.
