All eyes had preoperative corneal cylinder (Kcyl) ≥ 0.20 D on ocular biometry. An intrastromal LRI nomogram of single, non-paired LRIs placed at the 9 mm optical zone was used. Keratometry was measured preoperatively, and postoperatively at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months (POM3). Alpins astigmatism analysis was used to calculate target-induced astigmatism (TIA, equivalent to preoperative Kcyl), surgically induced astigmatism (SIA), difference vectors (DV), and correction indices (CI). Secondary analysis included multivariable binary logistic regression to determine clinical factors associated with corrections > 125% (CI > 1.25).Results: A total of 154 eyes (125 patients) were studied. Mean preoperative Kcyl was 0.87± 0.42 D (SD), which did not significantly differ from POM3 Kcyl (0.87± 0.51 D, p=0.470). Only the against-the-rule (ATR) subgroup demonstrated a small but significant reduction in Kcyl from preoperative (0.96± 0.51D) to POM3 (0.89± 0.55D, p=0.032). Sixteen eyes (10.4%) had Kcyl ≤ 0.5 D preoperatively, compared to 46 eyes (29.9%) at POM3 (p< 0.0001). Mean SIA was 0.80± 0.52 D. Mean DV was 0.85± 0.47. Mean CI was 0.79. Fifty-one eyes (33%) had astigmatism correction > 125%. On multivariable regression analysis, ATR astigmatism class (p=0.026) and lower arc lengths (30º) (p=0.005) were associated with correction > 125%. Lower preoperative corneal astigmatism was inversely correlated with CI (p< 0.001).Conclusion: Although intrastromal LRIs can be conveniently performed during FLACS and appear safe, only patients with ATR astigmatism demonstrated a significant reduction in corneal astigmatism 3-months postoperatively under the current nomogram. Areas for future refinements to the nomogram were identified.Keywords: astigmatism, astigmatic keratotomy, refractive laser-assisted cataract surgeryLim CWSomani SChiu HHMaini RTam ESDove Medical Pressarticleastigmatismastigmatic keratotomyrefractive laser-assisted cataract surgeryOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1059-1070 (2020) |
