Correlation between ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism in children with low and moderate myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess the correlation between ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism in children with low and moderate myopia.

Methods

Refractive astigmatism was determined by subjective manifest refraction. Anterior corneal astigmatism was determined by IOL Master. Thibos vector analysis was used to calculate ocular residual astigmatism. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the amounts of ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism. The relationship between the vectors of ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism was evaluated by a physical method.

Results

The study analysed 241 right eyes of 241 children aged 8 to 18 years old. In this study, the median magnitude of ocular residual
