Purpose: To determine posterior corneal surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) when using a temporal clear corneal incision and the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) for biometric measurements and to determine whether posterior corneal SIA can be predicted from preoperative data. Methods: A total of 258 consecutive eyes of 258 patients underwent cataract surgery with a 1.8-mm temporal clear corneal incision. Biometry measurements were taken preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively using the IOLMaster 700. Using vector analysis, the SIA of the posterior cornea was calculated. Results: The centroid of posterior corneal SIA was 0.01 diopters (D) @159 ± 0.14 D. The mean posterior corneal SIA was 0.12 D ± 0.07 D. Posterior corneal SIA magnitude was 0.25 D or less in 95% of patients. There was no correlation found between posterior corneal SIA magnitude and any preoperative measurement. Conclusions: The authors suggest not adjusting for posterior corneal SIA if using a small caliber, temporal incision. It was not possible to predict posterior corneal SIA from preoperative biometric measurements. [J Refract Surg. 2023;39(6):381–386.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
