| description | Taking into account the constant increase in patients with age-related cataracts after radial keratotomy, a careful analysis of both the optical and anatomical properties of the cornea with the examination of the posterior surface is of particular importance.Aim. To analyze the optical properties of the posterior surface of the cornea in patients after anterior radial keratotomy. Materials and methods. An examination of 24 patients (48 eyes) with age-related cataracts of varying degrees of density, myopia and the presence of a previous anterior radial keratotomy or radial-tangential keratotomy in history. The average age of patients was 59.5 years (from 47 to 68), there were 19 women and 5 men.Results. The radius of curvature of the anterior surface in patients after anterior radial keratotomy was 9.45 ± 0.91 mm on average along the meridians, which is significantly more in comparison with these indices in control patients – 7.70 ± 0.19 mm (p = 0.0001). The ratio of the radii of the posterior cornea curvature to the anterior radius on average along the meridians in patients after anterior radial keratotomy was 1.07 ± 0.70, and in control patients – 1.20 ± 0.02 (p = 0.0001). The keratometric index in patients after anterior radial keratotomy was 1.3538 ± 0.0239, and in the control group – 1.3372 ± 0.0003 (p = 0.23).Conclusion. In patients after anterior radial keratotomy, keratometry of the posterior surface of the cornea is significantly higher than in the control. The ratio of the radius of curvature of the posterior cornea to the radius of curvature of the anterior cornea varies significantly after anterior radial keratotomy, which is due to a more pronounced flattening of the posterior cornea. The standard keratometric index (1.3375) is invalid for patients after anterior radial keratotomy and must be calculated individually for each patient when deciding on the operative treatment of cataracts. |
