Abstract
Purpose of the study; To study the effects of cataract surgery on corneal sensation
Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was done. The individuals enrolled in this study were patients who were phakic In one eye and pseudophakic in the other, above the age of 45 years and who attended the ophthalmology out-patient department. Only those patients who had undergone surgery within 3 months were taken. After obtaining the details of surgery, detailed ocular examination was done. Corneal sensitivity was assessed by a Cochet- Bonnet aesthesiometer.
Results: The corneal sensitivity following cataract surgery was decreased in 9(50%) in those who had SICS superior Incision, In 12(57.1 %) In those with SICS temporal and In 18(85.7%) corneal incision In Phacoemulsification . It was compared in the phakic eye of the same group, having normal corneal sensitivity. Diminished corneal sensitivity was found to be significantly associated following cataract surgery.
Conclusion: There Is enough evidence to suggest a thorough ocular evaluation of all post operative patients following cataract surgery and It should Include evaluation for evidence of diminished corneal sensitivity.
