PURPOSE: To assess the effect of peripheral corneal relaxing incisions (PCRI) for astigmatism between 0.75 and 2.5 dioptres during cataract surgery on corneal densitometry (CD).
METHODS: In this prospective, randomised study, 80 eyes (80 patients), received either tIOL or PCRI. Assessment at pre-operative and 1, 3, 6, 12 months post-operative visit included uncorrected (UCDVA) and best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), spherical equivalent (SEQ) (only post-operatively), mean anterior and posterior keratometric astigmatism (KA) and CD with Schiempflug system. CD was analysed in four concentric radial zones from centre to periphery (Zone 1 to 4) and in 3 layers (anterior, mid-stromal and posterior).
RESULTS: Comparing tIOLs vs. PCRIs, there was no significant difference in the UCDVA, BCDVA and SEQ. In PCRI group, anterior KA decreased at 1 month and remained stable thereafter. For zones 1, 2 and 3, CD significantly reduced after 3 months with tIOLs whereas with PCRIs, it reduced 1 month onwards. For zone 4, CD reduced only at 12 months with tIOLs compared to 3 months onwards with PCRIs. In both groups CD was higher in the zone 4 and anterior layer. Significant reduction in CD was found in all three layers of cornea after 3 months in tIOL and after first month in PCRI groups, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Cataract surgery alone reduces the CD. Reducing keratometric astigmatism with PCRIs shows significant differences in CD from early post-operative period for central and anterior corneal layer.
