PURPOSE: To estimate the postoperative astigmatism after small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) done by junior residents at the end of 1 and 3 months.
METHODS: This observational longitudinal study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology of a tertiary eye care hospital and research center. 50 patients enrolled in the study underwent manual small incision cataract surgery by junior residents. Preoperative detailed ocular examination was done, which included keratometric estimation using autokeratometer (GR-3300K). Incision length, distance of incision from the limbus, and type of suturing technique were noted. Postoperatively, keratometric readings were noted at 1 and 3 months. Astigmatism (surgically induced astigmatism [SIA]) was estimated using Hill's SIA calculator version 2.0. All the analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) ver. 26.0 (IBM Corp., USA) software, and the statistical significance was tested at a 5% level.
RESULTS: Out of 50 patients, 54% had SIA between 1.5 and 2.5 D and 32% had SIA of more than 2.5 D. Only 14% had SIA less than 1.5 D at the end of 1 month. While 52% had SIA between 1.5 and 2.5 D, 22% had SIA between 1.5 and 2.5 D and 26% had SIA less than 1.5 D at the end of 3 months.
CONCLUSION: The SIA in most of the SICS done by junior residents was above 1.5 D. It depended mainly on the incision length, its distance from the limbus, and the suturing technique.
