This study introduces a new method for analyzing astigmatism after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. The findings show LASIK effectively corrects refractive power, with the cornea being a key factor in astigmatism.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Corneal Analysis

Background:

  • Astigmatism analysis after anterior segment surgery requires precise methods.
  • Evaluating refractive and keratometric changes is crucial for surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive method for analyzing astigmatism post-anterior segment surgery.
  • To demonstrate its application in patients undergoing laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Main Methods:

  • Vectorial analysis and matrix formalism for calculating refractive power, surgical effect, and astigmatism.
  • Introduction of refractive surgical success indices: global index of correction (GIC), spherical index of correction (SIC), and surgical accuracy (SA).
  • Method provided for normalizing keratometric data to correlate with refractive astigmatism.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences observed in mean preoperative and postoperative refractive powers (P <.001).
  • Mean refractive surgical effect was 5.64 +0.84 x 178.51 D.
  • High correlation found between refractive and normalized keratometric astigmatism (r = 0.52, P <.001) and changes in refraction and keratometry (r = 0.94, P <.001).

Conclusions:

  • The presented method enables meaningful interpretation of refractive and keratometric data.
  • LASIK demonstrated a greater effect on correcting spherical refractive power than astigmatic power.
  • Corneal curvature changes are the primary mechanism for myopia reduction via LASIK.
