[Refractive regression after intraocular lens implantation].
Study of refractive changes after IOL implantation in 147 eyes revealed that astigmatism tended to increase, and the natural regressive course followed a negative exponential function, with the steep phase within 3 weeks for spherical, and 5 weeks for cylindrical errors. One (1) week after surgery, the axis of astigmatism was predominantly with the rule, and 2 months after operation, patients with preoperative WRA changed into various astigmatic axial directions, while 76.4% of the patients with preoperative ARA reverted to ARA. Those eyes in which the astigmatic axis was not horizontal 1 week after operation ended with stronger astigmatism in 2 months.
