Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the influence of preexisting corneal astigmatism on refractive outcome after cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation.

Setting:

10th City Hospital, Republican Ophthalmological center, Belarus, Minsk.

Methods:

This research included 26 patients (32 eyes) 18 female, 14 male after cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation (AcrySof ReSTOR IOL) with different types of refraction/. Age ranged 59.3±8,6, UCVA before surgery was 0,13±0.11, BCVA was 0,85±0.08, SE-3,39 ± 3,43, preexisting coreneal astigmatism (keratotopograhy) was -1,13±0,49. Standard Phacoemulsification procedure was performed. Follow-up terms were after 1,3, 6 month.

Results:

All patients remained satisfied and showed stable refractive results after surgical intervention. The UCVA after was 0,95 ± 0.08 (95%). SE 0,31± 0,28. coreneal astigmatism (keratotopograhy) -0.56±0,29

Conclusions:

Preexisting corneal astigmatism (less then 1D) showed no influence on refractive outcome in patients after cataract surgery with multifocal IOL implantation and showed predictable and stable effect in 95%
