An Analytical Study of Astigmatism in Relation to SICS (Small Incision Cataract Surgery)

Aims and Objective:

To analyze the Keretometric changes occurred after SICS (small incision cataract surgery)

Material and Methods:

This study was conducted in upgraded Department of Ophthalmology (Tertiary health care Hospital). A total of 50 cases selected were of senile immature cataract. There was no cases of other complication. A detailed present, post, family history, social history was obtained. All necessary examination and investigation were performed.

Statistical Analysis:

Required statistical analysis was done.

Observation and Discussion:

It was noted that incidence of Astigmatism was 26% with rule on 3^rd post operative day which decreased to 20% on 6^th post operative day. The cases operated by SICS showed against the rule astigmatism on 3^rd post operative day. The findings of the present study were more or less in accordance of other studies.

Conclusion:

The result of this study showed less post operative astigmatism and early visual rehabilitation. SICS has come as a boon to fill in this fawning gap in between high cost, high tech phacomachine and conventional cataract surgery.
