Assessment was done pre-operatively and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months post-operatively by computerized topographer (Shipp Nippon, CT 1000), IOL master (Carl Zeiss, 500), autorefractometer (Unicos URK-800) and AS-OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT). The results were statistically evaluated to analyze any change in visual acuity, refractive status, keratometry, astigmatism and central corneal thickness (CCT).Results: Three months post-operatively, significant reduction of cylindrical power by − 0.358 D was observed by refraction with corresponding improvement of mean BCVA by 0.24± 0.04 logMAR. Corneal topography showed reduction in astigmatism by − 0.47± 0.95 D; however, the average keratometry did not undergo a significant change. The mean values of astigmatism by IOL master and topographer were comparable. There was significant steepening of the previously flatter meridian (horizontal meridian, in 63.3% patients) while the steeper meridian remained relatively unchanged. A greater reduction in astigmatism was noticed in children in the age group of 5– 10 years.Conclusion: Ptosis surgery modifies the corneal curvature, restoring corneal symmetry and reducing astigmatism; thus changing the refractive status of the patient, which needs to be addressed post-operatively to improve the quality of vision. Children with severe ptosis may benefit from being operated at an early age to achieve better astigmatic reduction.Keywords: topography, ptosis surgery, IOL masterGandhi AMehta ANaik MDove Medical Pressarticletopographyptosis surgeryiol masterOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3667-3673 (2020)
