Abstract

Background and Objectives: Small-incision CATARACT SURGERY offers advantages of faster rehabilitation, lower INDUCED ASTIGMATISM, less postoperative eye irritation and early visual recovery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgically INDUCED ASTIGMATISM and uncorrected visual acuity after Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE), with three various limbal INCISION configurations, with an aim to evaluate which INCISION is better and results in fewer astigmatism. Materials and Methods: In an one year (1999-2000) prospective study, a clinical trial of ECCE was performed on 120 cases admitted to Nikoukari and Alavi hospitals, Tabriz. Forty patients were operated by giving posterior limbus-parallel INCISION (traditional), 40 eyes with straight INCISION and the rest 40 eyes were incised with a limbus-antiparallel (frowm) INCISION. All INCISIONs were given in the superior vertical meridian and cords length were 10mm. Astigmatism was monitored by keratometry and visual acuity was followed-up regularly for 6 months. Surgically INDUCED ASTIGMATISM was calculated by the simple subtraction method. Results: Statistically significant differences were seen in favor of the limbus-antiparallel INCISION group for early surgical INDUCED ASTIGMATISM, uncorrected visual acuity and astigmatism shift in six months follow-up period (p<0.01). Postoperative mean astigmatism after limbus-antiparallel (frown) was lower than parallel and straight INCISION. Conclusion: ECCE with limbus-antiparallel INCISION is a safe surgical technique and given the circumstances in our country, is a suitable method of CATARACT SURGERY.
