简要总结
The goal of this is prospective, computer based randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of reduction of the pre-existing corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery in patients admitted in sohag university hospital.
the main questions it aims to answer are :
- Is limbal relaxing incisions as effective as the paired opposite 4mm clear corneal incisions technique in reduction of corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery ?
- Are both techniques effective in treating mild degrees of corneal Astigmatism ?
All participants will have full ophthalmological examination necessary for routine cataract surgery, then randomly divided into 2 groups, clear corneal incision group & limbal relaxing incision group.
Researcher will compare difference between both groups regarding the following :
- Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA)
- Best Corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
- keratometry readings
