Dr. Kamal R. Dodiya, Dr. Neha S. Parmar

Abstract: Cataract is an opacity of the lens or its capsule causing impairment of vision. The treatment of cataract is surgical. Two types of eye surgeries can be used to remove cataracts.1. Intra-capsular cataract extraction (ICCE), 2. Extra-capsular cataract extraction (ECCE). In this study we had done the Study of the incidence of Post-operative Astigmatism in Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) done by 3rd year residents. Aim of the study Study of incidence of postoperative astigmatism in small incision cataract surgery (SICS) done by 3rd year residents. Objectives of the study To study the incidence of postoperative astigmatism in small incision cataract surgery done by 3rd year residents. To study magnitude, type and course of astigmatism after SICS done by 3rd year residents. Material and Methods A study of 230 cases of small incision cataract surgery between July. -2013 to May - 2015 at the G. T. Sheth Eye Hospital, Rajkot. There was a study the incidence of postoperative astigmatism in small incision cataract surgery done by 3rd year residents. Results Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) calculated by SIA calculator Version 1.1 available at http//www. aios. in SIA calculator Version 1.1. SIA was 0.5 - 1 D in maximum 68 patients, followed by 1.0 - 1.5 D in 50 patients. Least no. of patients (only 4) had SIA of 3.51-4.0 D. Mean Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) is 1.270.84 D. Conclusion As in our study mean SIA is 1.27 0.84 D after SICS doe by 3rd year resident doctors. It indicates better exposure of surgery, minimum astigmatism as compare to other studies and good quality of surgery of our 3rd year resident doctors. ________________________________________
