Post-surgical astigmatism through in Phacoemulsification and Implantation of Polymethylmethacrylate Intraocular Lens

Abstract

Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a common and effective procedure for cataract removal and vision restoration. Postoperative astigmatism can impact visual outcomes following cataract surgery. This study explores the use of a scleral approach to prevent and manage post-surgical astigmatism in patients undergoing phacoemulsification with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) IOL implantation. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a scleral approach in preventing and reducing post-surgical astigmatism in patients undergoing phacoemulsification with PMMA IOL implantation. By evaluating the outcomes of this technique, including visual acuity, refractive error, and astigmatism correction, the study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of the scleral approach in optimizing postoperative visual outcomes. The use of a scleral approach for astigmatism management in phacoemulsification with PMMA IOL implantation holds promise for optimizing visual outcomes and patient satisfaction following cataract surgery. By addressing post-surgical astigmatism through this approach, ophthalmic surgeons can enhance the quality of vision correction and improve overall patient experiences.
