Summary

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

Conditions

  • Corneal Astigmatism

Interventions

PROCEDURE
