[Prediction of post-surgical astigmatism in pseudophakia]

After cataract surgery, the patient wants its vision to be as he remembers it was. We known that this is very difficult to reach; however it is quite possible to approach what would be a practically normal vision, since rather than attaining maximum vision possible (10/10), we must attain what the patient sees as normal dimensions in the space. If there is a high degree of astigmatism left, this goal will not be fully attained even with an intraocular lens. Therefore, we have analyzed the degree, type and evolution of astigmatism along the time, after EICC in some cases and planned EECC in other cases, using in the first ones resorptive sutures and in the second ones non-resorptive sutures, so to predict, through a statistical study, and in each one of the two groups, the astigmatism the patients will have in each one.
