| 9 | Factors associated with corneal astigmatism change after ptosis surgery显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the predictive factors of postoperative corneal astigmatism change in ptosis patients who underwent ptosis surgical repair.METHODS: Patients who underwent levator resection at Oculoplastic service of the Department of Ophthalmology, Naresuan University Hospital, Thailand between September 2017 and August 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Changes in degree and axis of corneal astigmatism after ptosis surgery were compared based on patient factors consisting of age at operation, sex, preoperative marginreflex distance(MRD) 1, and preoperative degree and axis of corneal astigmatism.RESULTS: Forty-two eyes of 28 patients were included in the study. Wilcoxon signed ranks test showed a significant postoperative corneal astigmatism change only in a subgroup of eyes with preoperative astigmatism of ≥1.5 diopters(D;P=0.006). Furthermore, 72.2%(13/18) of the eyes with preoperative astigmatism of ≥1.5 D showed a reduction of astigmatism after eyelid surgery, with the mean astigmatic change of 0.65 D. Majority of preoperative eyes demonstrated with-the-rule astigmatism pattern(45.2%), of which 57.9% showed a reduced degree of astigmatism.CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing ptosis surgery, the data demonstrate for the first time the association between postoperative corneal astigmatism change and a preoperative corneal astigmatism of ≥1.5 D. Thus, we encourage considering severity of corneal astigmatism prior to cataract or refractive surgery planning in ptosis patients, especially with toric-intraocular lens, to avoid the possibility of calculation error. | Natpatsorn Mongkolareepong Nattapong Mekhasingharak Oranicha Pimpha | 2022 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2022，15，4： | 0 |
