Scleral buckling and encircling elements in retinal detachment surgery cause mild astigmatism and minimal changes in axial length. Videokeratoscopy effectively measures these surgically induced astigmatic changes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • Conventional retinal detachment surgeries can alter eye geometry due to scleral indentation.
  • Understanding the impact of different surgical techniques on ocular parameters is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of scleral buckling versus encircling elements on corneal topography, surgically induced astigmatism, and axial length.
  • To compare the postoperative changes in these parameters between the two surgical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Keratometry, videokeratoscopy, and axial length measurements were performed preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively.
  • 19 patients with peripheral retinal detachments were divided into two groups: scleral buckling (Group A) and encircling elements (Group B).

  • Vectoral analysis was used to calculate surgically induced astigmatism.

    • Main Results:

    • Surgically induced astigmatism was observed in both groups, with higher initial values in the encircling group (Group B).
    • Astigmatism decreased over time but remained slightly elevated compared to preoperative levels in both groups.
    • Axial length showed minimal changes: a slight reduction in Group A and a slight increase in Group B after 3 months.
    • Computerized videokeratoscopy proved effective in detecting subtle, surgically induced astigmatism.

    Conclusions:

    • Both scleral buckling and encircling elements can induce mild astigmatism and minor axial length alterations after retinal detachment surgery.
    • The choice of surgical technique may influence the degree and pattern of induced astigmatism.
    • Videokeratoscopy is a valuable tool for quantifying these postoperative refractive changes.
