The effect of “T”incision on distant stereovision of cataract patients with high cornea astigmatism / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of “T”incision on distant stereovision of cataract patients with high cornea astigma-tism .Methods 40 age-related cataract patients (40 eyes) with high cornea astigmatism for surgery in our hospital were divided into two groupsA(20 eyes) an B(20 eyes) .The A groups received superior(1100) clear corneal incision(CCI) .The B groups besides the superior(1100) CCI ,for surgery on the steepest meridian ,an additional couple of “T”incisions were made to release the preex-isting corneal astigmatism .The operation eyes were all implanted Rayner foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens .The UCVA , corneal astigmatism ,distant stereovision were observed at 3 months after operation .Results The UCVA in each group after sur-gery was all better than that of preoperation ,difference being statistically significant (P0 .05) ,The corneal J0 and P in group B after surgery were lower than that of preoperation .difference being statistically significant(P<0 .01) .difference between Group A and Group B(P<0 .01) at 3 months postoperation was statistically significant (P<0 .01);The stereopsis in each group after surgery was all better than that of preoperation ,difference being statistically significant (P<0 .01) .the difference between Group A and Group B postoperation was significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion the“T” incisions on the steepest corneal meridian can improve the patient′s visual function and distant stereovision .
