Topography-guided subconjunctival oblique limbus incisions (SCOLI) in manual cataract surgery for astigmatism correction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the safety and efficacy of two SCOLI designs (Yang's I/II) for astigmatism correction in manual cataract surgery and define incision size-astigmatism relationships.

Methods

A total of 72 eyes from 64 cataract patients who accept manual cataract extraction surgery via a SCOLI technique. The two different types of incision: Yang's I and II incisions were applied in this study. The patients were divided into four groups based on corneal topography: Group 1 (0.25-1.5D), Group 2 (1.5-2.5D), Group 3 (2.5-3.5D), and Group 4 (>3.5D). In both groups, the incisions of different lengths were made on the steepest axis. 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, the postoperative corneal topography was examined, and the surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was
