Comparison of surgically induced astigmatism among different surgeons performing the same incision
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 6
Abstract
To compare surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) of different surgeons, who perform the same main incision. Two hundred and seventy eyes underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification by four different surgeons (A, B, C, and D). A 3-step, 3.0 mm, superotemporal for the right eye and superonasal for the left eye clear corneal incision was performed. A comparison in SIA among A, B, C and D surgeon was made. No significant difference was found in SIA at both first and sixth postoperative month between different surgeons (P>0.05). SIA is more dependent on incisional characteristics and preoperative astigmatism and less on the surgeon.
