INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in corneal astigmatism, axial anterior corneal curvature, as well as changes in the anterior chamber depth and central corneal thickness, 2 months following the unilateral recession of medial rectus muscle in children.
METHODS: Thirty-three children with esotropia were prospectively evaluated following unilateral medial rectus muscle recession, using Pentacam®. Comparisons were made between the operated and fellow unoperated eyes, pre, and postoperatively. The assessment was made for changes in the radius of axial curvature on major meridians at 3 and 3.5 mm from the optical corneal center in the mid-peripheral zone. Astigmatism changes of the anterior and posterior corneal surface were calculated using vector analysis software (astigMATIC®). ANOVA model was used to examine the interaction between age or central corneal thickness and postoperative changes in anterior and posterior surface corneal astigmatism.
RESULTS: In the intervention group, changes in anterior and posterior corneal surface astigmatism were statistically significant, with a mean increase of 0.59Dx92 and 0.08Dx91, respectively. In the mid-peripheral corneal zone, there is an increase in the radius of anterior corneal axial curvature more evident nasally 3.5 mm from the corneal center on the horizontal meridian, with corresponding decrease superiorly and inferiorly at 3 and 3.5 mm from the corneal center on the vertical meridian.
DISCUSSION: The changes in total astigmatism of the operated eyes are mainly attributed to the anterior corneal surface. These changes are associated with flattening in the 180 meridian of the cornea, leading to a shift to "with-the-rule" astigmatism.
