Background: Age related cataract is the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. With the advent of microsurgical facilities simple cataract extraction surgery has been replaced by small incision cataract surgery (SICS) with posterior chamber intra ocular lens implant, which can be done either with clear corneal incision or scleral incision. Objective: To compare the post operative visual outcome in these two procedures of cataract surgery. Materials and method: This comparative study was carried out in the department of Ophthalmology, Delta Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period of January 2010 to December 2012. Total 60 subjects indicated for age related cataract surgery irrespective of sex with the age range of 40-80 years with predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Subjects were randomly and equally distributed in 2 groups; Group A for SICS with clear corneal incision and group B for SICS with scleral incision. Post operative visual out come was evaluated by determining visual acuity and astigmatism in different occasions and was compared between groups. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS for windows version12. Results: The highest age incidence (43.3%) was found between 61 to 70 years of age group. Among study subjects 40 were male and 20 were female. Preoperative visual acuity and astigmatism were evenly distributed between groups. Regarding postoperative unaided visual outcome, 6/12 or better visual acuity was found in 19.98% cases in group A and 39.6% cases in group B at 1st week. At 6th week 6/6 vision was found in 36.3% in Group A and 56.1% in Group B and 46.2% in group A and 66% in group B without and with correction respectively. With refractive correction, 6/6 vision was attained in 60% subjects of group A and 86.67% of group B at 8th week. Post operative visual acuity was statistically significant in all occasions. Postoperative astigmatism of >0.50D was in 82.5% subjects of group A and 52.8% subjects of group B at 1st week. At 6th week postoperative astigmatism of less than 1D was in 79.95% subjects of Group A and 83.34% subjects of Group B. About 20% subjects in Group A and only 3.3% in Group B showed astigmatism of more than 1D and these differences on both the occasions were statistically significant. Conclusion: The post operative visual outcome was better in SICS with scleral incision (group B) than in SICS with clear corneal incision (Group-A).

Abstract Background: Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) is very intolerant to residual corneal astigmatism and patients with more than 1.0 D of residual corneal astigmatism are not suitable candidates for implantation of multifocal IOLs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a single clear corneal incision (CCI) or an opposite clear corneal incision (OCCI) made on a steep meridian for correction of low to moderate corneal astigmatism during implantation of multifocal IOLs.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 50 patients with pre-operative total corneal astigmatism, ranging between 0.5 and 2.0 diopters (D), who underwent cataract surgery and received multifocal IOLs were included. Correction of corneal astigmatism was done via single CCIs on steep meridians in patients with 0.5–1.2 D total corneal astigmatisms, and OCCIs in patients with 1.3–2.0 D total corneal astigmatisms. Visual acuity, corneal astigmatism, ocular aberrations, corneal aberrations, and subjective vision quality were evaluated after surgery.Results: At 12-weeks post-surgery, the mean uncorrected distance vision (UCDV) was 0.06±0.09 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.03±0.09 logMAR, and the mean uncorrected near vision (UCNV) was 0.08±0.11 logMAR and 0.09±0.09 logMAR in the CCI and OCCI groups, respectively. The change in corneal astigmatism was 0.52 ± 0.22D and 1.06 ± 0.23D in the CCI and OCCI groups, respectively (P<0.001). Total corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and trefoil increased in both groups (P<0.05); however, there was no difference in the change in total corneal HOAs between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: CCI and OCCI made on a steep axis could be an option for correction of mild-to-moderate astigmatism during cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation.

Objective: Aim of the study is to Compare the astigmatism induced by a reduced temporal sclerocorneal tunnel incision manual small incision cataract surgery with an extended temporal clear corneal Phacoemulsification of similar width . Methods: A Prospective, randomised controlled study was carried out in 224 selected patients who were again divided into two groups - Group A (112 patients) and Group B (112 patients). Group A patients underwent temporal manual small incision cataract surgery with a 5.5 mm sclerocorneal incision and Group B underwent phacoemulsification by a 2.8 mm clear corneal temporal incision which was extended to 5.5 mm before IOL implantation. In both groups, a 5.25 mm rigid PMMA IOL was implanted in the bag. UCVA and BCVA of both group of patients was quantified and analyzed at 1 week and at 6 weeks Observation: It was seen that the mean surgically Induced astigmatism in group A (N=112) was 0.5625D , which was slightly lesser than that in Group B (N=112) which was 0.65D, although the p-value of 0.26 indicated that there was statistically no significant difference in visual outcomes between the two groups of patients. Here, a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Conclusion: In Skilled and Safe hands, refractive outcomes following performing a 5.5mm temporal sclerocorneal frown-incision manual small incision cataract surgery and a phacoemulsification procedure by a 2.8mm temporal clear corneal incision extended to 5.5mm for implanting a 5.25mm rigid PMMA IOL , are comparable.
