Occurrence of post- operative complications in relation to the two types of surgeries; Phacoemulsification and small incision cataract surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
For over a century, it has been recognized that cataract incisions influence astigmatism. Astigmatism after the cataract extraction is generally ATR variety, which is caused by some degree of steepening of the corneal meridian at right angles to the direction of the incision, termed as “surgically induced astigmatism”. This effect is dependent on the size of incision and it’s proximity to the center of the cornea. A total of 200 patients were admitted as inpatients for cataract surgery and were followed up as outpatients in the hospital. Most of the patients in the study showed pre operative astigmatism in the range of 0.50 – 1 D with more eyes having against the rule astigmatism. The most common post operative complication was corneal oedema and striae kerathopathy. One case each in Group A and B developed post operative iridocyclitis.
