Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of limbal relaxing incisions for correction of corneal astigmatism during phacoemulsification surgery. Material and Method: The records of 38 eyes of 33 patients with 1.5 diopters or higher keratometric astigmatism who had combined cataract surgery and limbal relaxing incisions between 2004 and 2008 were retrospectively rewieved. LRIs were performed according to Gills nomogram. Keratometry and topography (Topcon KR-7000P) measurements before and 6 months after the surgeries were retrospectively rewieved. A specific vector analysis programme was used for the analyses of astigmatism. Results: The mean values for preoperative and postoperative keratometric astigmatism were 2.60±1.04 D and 1.59±1.17 D, respectively. The mean surgical induced astigmatism was 2.15±1.23 D. Surgically induced astigmatism produced a mean of 1.77±1.13 D flattening in the surgical meridian. The mean change in spherical equivalent was -0.05 D. None othe patients experienced a decreased visual acuity and serious postoperative complications were observed. Conclusion: Limbal relaxing incision is safe and effective astigmatism correction procedure with predictable results.

Özet

Amaç: Fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi sırasında korneal astigmatizmayı düzeltmek için uygulanan limbal gevşetici kesilerin etkinlik ve güvenilirliğini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde 2004-2008 yılları arasında , katarakt cerrahisi sırasında limbal gevşetici kesi uygulanmış, keratometrik astigmatizma düzeyi 1.5 dioptri (D) ve üzerinde olan 33 hastanın 38 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. Limbal gevşetici kesiler (LGK), Gills nomogramına göre yapıldı. Ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası 6. ay keratometri ve topografi (Topcon-KR7000P) verileri geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Astigmatizma analizi için eşleştirilmiş örnek t testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası ortalama keratometrik astigmatizma düzeyleri sırasıyla 2.60±1.04 D ve 1.59±1.17 D idi. İndüklenmiş astigmatizma düzeyi 2.15±1.23 dioptri bulundu. İndüklenen astigmatizma, cerrahi meridyende ortalama 1.77±1.13 D düzleşme sağladı. Sferik eşdeğerde ortalama -0.05 D değişiklik saptandı. Hastaların hiçbirinde görme keskinliğinde azalma ve cerrahi komplikasyon izlenmedi. Sonuç: Limbal gevşetici kesi; sonuçları öngörülebilir, güvenli ve etkili bir astigmatizma düzeltme yöntemidir.
