Abstract
Comparison of post operative change in corneal astigmatism with 2.2 mm and 2.8 mm clear corneal incision given at steep meridian in phacoemulsification. 160 eyes of 160 patients were included in the study and were divided randomly into two groups according to the preexisting astigmatism and further divided into two sub‐groups depending on corneal incision size. Detailed history was followed by visual Acuity and Ocular examination proper (Adnexa, conjunctiva, cornea, Anterior chamber, iris, pupil and lens). Detailed slit lamp was done to grade the cataract as cortical cataract, nuclear sclerosis, Posterior subcapsular cataract. IOP and best corrected visual acuity were also assessed. Pre operative keratometry and A scan were also done. On placing the incision at steep meridian there was a significant decrease in corneal astigmatism. The making of the incision in the steepest meridian causes corneal flattening in that meridian to reduce astigmatism.
