title: Surgically-induced astigmatism following single-site phacotrabeculectomy, phacotrabeculotomy and advanced non-penetrating phacotrabeculectomy.
abstract: We study surgically-induced astigmatism following three kinds of glaucoma surgeries combined with cataract surgery with 6 months of follow-up. The mean surgically-induced astigmatism at 6 months postoperatively was 1.92 +/- 1.87 diopters in phacotrabeculectomy (n = 45), 0.72 +/- 0.40 diopters in advanced non-penetrating phacotrabeculectomy (n = 40) and 0.76 +/- 0.47 diopters in phacotrabeculotomy (n = 49), which appeared to be stabilized by 3 months. Each group revealed a tendency of "with the wound" induced astigmatism. Phacotrabeculectomy could induce greater surgically-induced astigmatism than advanced non-penetrating phacotrabeculectomy and phacotrabeculotomy.
