Astigmatism after cataract surgery: nylon versus Mersilene
1Department of Ophthalmology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo.
Abstract:
To find out if postoperative astigmatism decays less if Mersilene rather than nylon sutures are used, 25 patients had a standard wound closure with 10-0 nylon in one eye and 11-0 Mersilene in the other. There was no difference in the astigmatism decay over a 6-month period.
