| Popis: | A series of 22 consecutive patients had phacoemulsification using a small (3.5 to 4.0 mm), self-sealing incision. Preoperative keratometric analysis was performed using the EyeSys ™ photokeratoscope. Results of this analysis were compared with keratometric data obtained at one week and at one month postoperatively. These comparisons were evaluated for surgery-induced cylinder and astigmatic decay at the 3, 5, and 7 mm corneal zones. At one week postoperatively, there was only mild against-the-rule change in cylinder at each corneal zone, and these changes showed minimal decay at the one month follow-up visit. |
