Abstract

Background & Method: The aim of the study is to study the effect of profile and placement of incision on post-operative corneal curvature in MSICS. A thorough general and systematic examination was carried out to exclude any systemic illness. BP was recorded, lab investigations like complete blood picture with ESR, and blood sugar were performed.
 
Result: The age and sex distribution of cases in our series. 44(52%) patients were male and 40 patients(48%)were females. Maximum patients were in the age group of 60-65 yrs Size of incision. 60 patients(71%) were given a 6.5 mm incision, 18 patients(22%) were given incision measuring 7mm and 06 patients(7%) were given 8mm incision. Thus majority of patients were given incision measuring 6.5mm.
 
Conclusion: The largest group was formed by patients between 60-65 yrs of age with natural senile cataract. A gradual change in post op corneal curvature was observed with time. This study suggests that the surgically induced WTR astigmatism following MSICS via temporal approach. All the patients in the superior incision group showed further shift towards ATR astigmatism.
