Comparison of Corneal Incision Versus Toric Intraocular Lens Techniques Used in Cataract Surgery

Comparison of Corneal Incision Versus Toric Intraocular Lens Techniques Used in Cataract Surgery

Eyesight and quality of life improves in patients after refractive cataract surgery because this surgery treats myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia except astigmatism. In order to make a patient spectacle free Ophthalmologists use different methods during cataract surgery to minimize astigmatism.

These methods includes limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) or the insertion of toric IOLs, which are specifically intended to cancel out pre-existing astigmatism and astigmatic keratometry. This research will be conducted to see which method benefits more for treating preoperative astigmatism in eye.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Both genders were included.
• Patients having astigmatism was included. Patients having cataract was included.
• Eyes having no other ocular pathology was included.
• Patients having no history of corneal scar was included

Exclusion Criteria:

• Eyes having any ocular pathology will be excluded.
• Patients with corneal suture will be excluded.
• Those using contact lenses instead of spectacles for vision correction will be excluded.
• Participants with a history of eye surgery within the past year will be excluded.
