Control of postoperative astigmatism.

A D Atkins, M J Roper-Hall

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Suture adjustment effectively reduced significant astigmatism in eyes after cataract surgery. This procedure, performed postoperatively, showed no serious complications and improved visual outcomes.

    Adjustment of running suture to control postkeratoplasty astigmatism.

    Ophthalmology·1991

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Refractive Error Correction

    Background:

    • Cataract extraction via corneal section can lead to excessive astigmatism.
    • Postoperative astigmatism exceeding 3.0 dioptres requires effective management strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of suture adjustment for correcting post-cataract extraction astigmatism.
    • To assess the safety and outcomes of this intervention in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-six eyes with over 3.0 dioptres of astigmatism post-corneal cataract surgery were included.
    • Suture adjustment was performed under topical anesthesia between six and eight weeks postoperatively.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in astigmatism was achieved in the majority of treated eyes.
    • The procedure was well-tolerated, with no serious complications reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Suture adjustment is a viable and safe method for managing significant post-corneal cataract extraction astigmatism.
    • This intervention can effectively improve visual outcomes for patients experiencing refractive errors after surgery.
