Abstract
Purpose: This retrospective study investigated the impact of corneal parameters on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in eyes with prior myopic correction undergoing cataract surgery.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, San Marino Hospital, San Marino, Republic of San Marino.
Design: This case-control study analyzed existing data retrospectively, without randomization or masking.
Methods: Eighty eyes divided in group 1 (40 eyes previous underwent refractive surgery for myopia) and group 2 ( 40 myopic eyes) that underwent cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were included. SIA was calculated using values from the IOL Master Zeiss 700 and mean pupil power (MPP) derived from the CSO Sirius Topographer (based on 3 mm pupil size) with vectorial analysis from doctor Hill software.
Results: No significant difference in SIA was observed between eyes with prior myopic photorefractive keratectomy and the control group (p > 0.05). SIA calculations using the IOL Master and CSO Sirius Tomographer yielded similar results. There was no significant correlation between SIA and axial length, corneal curvature, peripheral corneal thickness, or anterior chamber depth (p > 0.05). However, an inverse correlation was found between SIA and horizontal corneal diameter (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Corneal parameters, such as axial length, corneal curvature, peripheral corneal thickness, and anterior chamber depth, showed no significant influence on SIA. The inverse correlation between SIA and horizontal corneal diameter in study group suggests potential influence of white-to-white distance on SIA. These findings highlight the importance of considering corneal parameters for optimizing surgical outcomes.
