Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate astigmatism evaluation is crucial for refractive and cataract surgery outcomes.
  • Traditional methods may not fully capture the nuances of induced astigmatism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a robust method for evaluating and reporting astigmatism.
  • To provide a standardized approach for individual and aggregate astigmatism data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated surgically induced refractive change (SIRC) considering vertex distance and keratometric index.
  • Converted polar astigmatism values (cylinder and axis) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y).
  • Utilized doubled-angle and single-angle plots for data visualization.

Main Results:

  • Doubled-angle plots effectively visualized trends in induced astigmatism.
  • Mean values of induced astigmatism calculated via Cartesian coordinates aligned with visual data representation.

Conclusions:

  • Converting astigmatism data to Cartesian coordinates enables accurate statistical analysis (mean, standard deviation, correlation).
  • Doubled-angle plots are the optimal visualization method for identifying astigmatism trends in surgical data.
