Values of surgically induced astigmatism after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation in patients with cataract were investigated. It was established that after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation the value of surgically induced astigmatism was in the range from 0.04 D to 3.76 D. Surgically induced astigmatism after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation depends not only on the incision size and location. It also depends on anatomical-functional parameters of the eye among which it is possible to distinguish the degree of preoperative corneal astigmatism, corneal rigidity, IOP value as well as patient's age.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
