Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare corneal astigmatism correction between “wound open” and “wound intact” methods during femtosecond laser-assisted transepithelial arcuate keratotomy.Methods: From April 2016 to December 2018, a retrospective survey was conducted on patients undergoing femtosecond laser cataract surgery at the Ophthalmology Department of Samsung Medical Center. Size comparison and vector analysis of corneal astigmatism before and after surgery were performed in the wound open and wound intact groups.Results: In the wound open and wound intact groups, the target-induced astigmatism (TIA) was 1.28 ± 0.55; and 1.26 ± 0.29 diopters, the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was 0.80 ± 0.52; and 0.53 ± 0.32 diopters, and the correction index (CI) was 0.63 ± 0.28; and 0.43 ± 0.26, respectively. The astigmatism correction was superior in the wound open group (p = 0.048, p = 0.025). In a subgroup with TIA < 1.2 diopters, there were no significant differences in SIA or CI between the two groups; however, in the subgroup with a TIA > 1.2 diopters, the SIA was 1.09 ± 0.59; and 0.54 ± 0.37 diopters and the CI was 0.60 ± 0.28; and 0.36 ± 0.23 in the wound open and wound intact groups, respectively (p = 0.022, p = 0.047). Thus, astigmatism correction was superior in the wound open group.Conclusions: The wound open method during femtosecond laser-assisted transepithelial arcuate keratotomy was superior for astigmatism correction compared to the wound intact method.

Purpose: To assess the surgically induced astigmatism with femtosecond laser-assisted and manual temporal clear corneal incisions and to evaluate the performance of a model for prediction of the surgically induced astigmatism based on the preoperative corneal astigmatism. Methods: Clinical data of 104 right eyes and 104 left eyes undergoing cataract surgery, 52 with manual incisions and 52 with femtosecond laser-assisted incisions in each eye group, were extracted and revised retrospectively. In all cases, manual incisions were 2.2 mm width and femtosecond incisions were 2.5 mm width, both at temporal location. A predictive model of the surgically induced astigmatism was obtained by means of simple linear regression analyses. Results: Mean surgically induced astigmatisms for right eyes were 0.14D@65° (manual) and 0.24D@92° (femtosecond) (p > 0.05) and for left eyes, 0.15D@101° (manual) and 0.19D@104° (femtosecond) (p > 0.05). The orthogonal components of the surgically induced astigmatism (XSIA, YSIA) were significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with the preoperative orthogonal components of corneal astigmatism (Xpreop, Ypreop) (r = −0.29 for X and r = −0.1 for Y). The preoperative astigmatism explained 8% of the variability of the XSIA and 3% of the variability of YSIA. The postoperative corneal astigmatism prediction was not improved by the surgically induced astigmatism obtained from the model in comparison with the simple vector subtraction of the mean surgically induced astigmatism. Conclusion: Temporal incisions induce similar astigmatism either for manual or for femtosecond procedures. This can be clinically negligible for being considered for toric intraocular lens calculation due to the great standard deviation in comparison with the mean. The usefulness of the prediction model should be confirmed in patients with high preoperative corneal astigmatism.

Abstract Objectives To compare the efficacy of astigmatic correction between simultaneous femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal arcuate keratotomy (AK) combined with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation during cataract surgery in moderate astigmatism. Design: Retrospective observational study, tertiary care medical center Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who underwent astigmatic correction via femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal AK (AK group; 27 eyes of 27 patients) with FLACS or toric IOL implantation (toric IOL group; 21 eyes of 21 patients). All patients had senile cataracts with corneal astigmatism ranging from + 1.00 to + 2.00 diopters (D) before cataract surgery. We measured visual acuity, intraocular pressure, automated keratometry, manifest refraction and topography preoperatively and at 1-day, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month postoperatively. Results Refractive astigmatism was significantly decreased in both groups. The mean preoperative and 6-month postoperative refractive astigmatism were 1.85 ± 1.07 and 0.99 ± 0.51 D, respectively, in the AK group (P = 0.028), and 1.84 ± 0.81 and 0.68 ± 0.21 D, respectively, in the toric IOL group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in refractive astigmatism between the two groups at 6-month postoperatively (0.99 ± 0.51 vs 0.68 ± 0.21 D, P = 0.057). At 6-month postoperatively, parameters for vector analysis of refractive astigmatism showed no statistical difference between the two groups. Corneal astigmatism was significantly decreased in the AK group. There was significant difference in corneal astigmatism from topography and automated keratometer between the two groups at 6-month postoperatively (0.94 ± 0.40 vs 1.53 ± 0.46 D, P = 0.018 for topography and 0.98 ± 0.69 vs 1.37 ± 0.41 D, P = 0.032 for automated keratometer). Conclusions Femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal AK in FLACS could be an effective procedure for reducing astigmatism as well as toric IOL implantation in cataract surgery.

Purpose. To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and predictability of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation combined with a LenSx femtosecond laser-assisted limbal relaxing incision (LRI) for the correction of corneal astigmatism. Methods. This prospective study enrolled 64 eyes (54 patients) with high myopia with low to moderate regular corneal astigmatism. They were divided into an ICL group with ICL implantation (18 patients, 20 eyes), a TICL group with toric ICL implantation (17 patients, 23 eyes), and a LenSx + ICL group with a LenSx femtosecond laser-assisted LRI and an ICL implantation (19 patients, 21 eyes). Visual acuity, astigmatism correction ability, and visual quality were measured before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Results. The postoperative visual acuity of the 3 groups was higher than the preoperative visual acuity ( P < 0.01 ), and the improvements in the LenSx + ICL group and the TICL group were greater than those in the ICL group ( P < 0.01 ). The LenSx + ICL and TICL groups had less residual astigmatism and a higher astigmatism correction index (CI) than the ICL group ( P < 0.01 ). There was no significant difference among the three groups in total high-order aberrations (HOAs) before and after surgery ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion. LenSx femtosecond laser-assisted LRI can effectively correct low to moderate corneal astigmatism during ICL implantation surgery. It can achieve similar clinical effects in the short term compared with TICL implantation.

Abstract Background To compare the efficacies in astigmatic correction of simultaneous femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) with intrastromal arcuate keratotomy (ISAK) versus toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with conventional phacoemulsification in moderate astigmatism. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients who had undergone cataract surgery by one surgeon. We identified patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism from + 0.75 to + 2.00 diopters (D) who had undergone astigmatic correction with FLACS with ISAK or toric IOL implantation with conventional phacoemulsification. We measured the visual acuity, intraocular pressure, automated keratometer, manifest refraction, and topography preoperatively and 1-day, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month postoperatively. The vector analysis of refractive astigmatism was performed. Results Of a total of 48 eyes of 48 patients, 27 eyes of 27 patients had FLACS with ISAK (AK group), and 21 eyes of 21 patients had conventional cataract surgery with toric IOL implantation (toric IOL group). Refractive astigmatism was significantly decreased in both groups. The mean preoperative and 6-month postoperative refractive astigmatism were 1.85 ± 1.07 and 0.99 ± 0.51 D, respectively, in the AK group (P = 0.028), and 1.84 ± 0.81 and 0.68 ± 0.21 D, respectively, in the toric IOL group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in refractive astigmatism between the two groups at 6-month postoperatively (0.99 ± 0.51 vs 0.68 ± 0.21 D, P = 0.057). At 6-month postoperatively, parameters for vector analysis of refractive astigmatism showed no statistical difference between the two groups. Corneal astigmatism was significantly decreased in the AK group. Corneal astigmatism from topography and the automated keratometer were significantly lower in the AK group 6-month postoperatively compared to toric IOL group (0.94 ± 0.40 vs. 1.53 ± 0.46 D, P = 0.018 for topography; and 0.98 ± 0.69 vs. 1.37 ± 0.41 D, P = 0.032 for the automated keratometer). Conclusions FLACS with ISAK could be an effective procedure for reducing astigmatism as well as toric IOL implantation in cataract surgery.
