Purpose: To compare corneal astigmatism estimation from Barrett toric calculator, with measurement from Galilei Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer G4 in low corneal cylinder patients. Methods: Preoperative corneal astigmatism was measured using Auto Kerato-Refractometer (AutoKM), IOL Master, and Galilei G4 (combined Placido-dual Scheimpflug analyzer) and was processed by Barrett toric calculator with measurements obtained from Auto Kerato-Refractometer and from IOL Master. A total of 42 eyes undergoing cataract surgery with nontoric intraocular lens implantation were included. Corneal astigmatism was calculated based on manifest refractive astigmatism with implications of surgically induced astigmatism. Errors in predicted residual astigmatism were calculated by the difference between postoperative manifest cylindrical refractive error and preoperative corneal cylinder using vector analysis. Results: Centroid error in predicted residual astigmatism was with-the-rule 0.36 D for AutoKM and 0.48 D for IOL Master, was lower at 0.24 D for the Barrett–IOL Master, and was lowest at 0.21 D for the Barrett–AutoKM ( p < .001). The Galilei G4 demonstrated the highest centroid error for SimK (0.53 D) and lower for total corneal power (0.49 D). The Barrett toric calculator obtained the lowest median absolute error in predicted residual astigmatism for AutoKM (0.43 D) and IOL Master (0.54 D). The Barrett–IOL Master demonstrated that 61% and 76% of eyes were within 0.50 and 0.75 D of the predicted residual astigmatism, respectively. Conclusion: The Barrett–IOL Master had more accurate prediction of residual astigmatism for low astigmatism eyes before cataract surgery compared to Galilei Dual Scheimpflug Analyzer G4 in this study.

Purpose To describe a technique for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation that lessens the degree of surgical invasiveness by implanting a tightly rolled IOL through a small incision without touching the eye with the cartridge tip. Methods An IOL was inserted through an incision by first allowing the leading haptic to protrude slightly from the cartridge tip. It was then injected through the incision without allowing any part of the cartridge to touch the eye during IOL implantation. In one eye, the entire circumference of the beveled portion of the cartridge tip was inserted into the anterior chamber to implant the IOL, whereas in the other eye, the IOL was inserted through the incision by first allowing the leading haptic to protrude slightly from the cartridge tip. It was then injected through the incision without allowing any part of the cartridge to touch the eye during IOL implantation. We analyzed the incision width before and after IOL implantation and the degree of surgically induced astigmatism on the day after surgery and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Results Using our technique, both the amount by which the wound was enlarged and the hydration rate were significantly lower compared with conventional IOL implantation. Our method enables IOL implantation to be carried out through a small incision at a width that was only previously possible with forcible insertion. Conclusions Our IOL implantation technique can be performed using both hands with no need to immobilize the eyeball.

Abstract Background This study aimed to compare surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) on the anterior and total cornea during cataract surgery through a 2.2 mm steep meridian incision. Methods The study included 69 left eyes of 69 patients who had undergone cataract surgery. The 69 eyes were classified into three subgroups according to the preoperative steep meridian. Following phacoemulsification, an intraocular lens was inserted into the bag. The keratometric measurements were taken 12 months postoperatively, on the anterior cornea (automated keratometer and anterior keratometry [K] from a rotating Scheimpflug camera) and total cornea (equivalent K reading [EKR] 3.0 mm, EKR 4.5 mm, total corneal refractive power (TCRP) 2.0 mm ring, TCRP 3.0 mm zone, TCRP 4.0 mm zone). The SIA was analyzed for each parameter. Results On the double-angle polar plot, the summated vector mean values of SIA determined by the automated keratometer and Scheimpflug anterior K were 0.28 diopter (axis: 177°) and 0.37 diopter (axis: 175°) in with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism; 0.03 diopter (axis: 156°) and 0.18 diopter (axis: 177°) in oblique astigmatism; 0.15 diopter (axis: 96°) and 0.17 diopter (axis: 73°) in against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism. The mean SIAs on the total cornea ranged from 0.31 to 0.42 diopter in WTR astigmatism; from 0.16 to 0.27 diopter in oblique astigmatism; from 0.04 to 0.11 diopter in ATR astigmatism. Mean magnitude SIA ranged from 0.41 to 0.46 diopter on anterior corneal surface and 0.50 to 0.62 diopter on total cornea. J0 and J45 of the posterior cornea showed no significant changes after cataract surgery, and the changes in J0 and J45 did not show any statistical differences between the anterior and total cornea (all p > 0.05). Conclusions There were no differences in the summed vector mean values of SIA between the anterior cornea and the total cornea.

Corneal Incisions

Phacoemulsication surgery is the most widely used technique for cataract surgery nowadays. It can be done by either pre-incision or by clear corneal incisions. Clear corneal incisions are becoming more popular option for cataract surgery and IOL (intraocular lens) implantation. The availability of foldable IOL that can be inserted through small incisions has created a trend for clear corneal incisions. To compare post-operative kera to metric changes after phacoemulsication surgery between pre-incision or tunnel-based incision and single stepped clear corneal incisions. Fifty patients undergoing phacoemulsication surgery in the Dept. Of Ophthalmology, Nilratan Sircar Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal. Both pre-incision and clear-corneal incision in phacoemulsication surgery results in surgically induced astigmatism post-operatively, but there was no signicant difference in post-operative induced astigmatism in between both techniques.
