摘要: Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) for correcting corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. Setting: Cullen Eye Institute, Houston, Texas, USA. Methods: In 12 eyes 11 patients, surgery was combined with LRIs. The LRIs were made according to a modified Gills nomogram and based on preoperative determined standard keratometry computerized videokeratography (EyeSys Corneal Analysis System™ Version 3.2). Results: mean keratometric cylinder 2.46 ± 0.81 diopters (D). At 1 month postoperatively, arithmetic reduction in 1.12 0.74 D, with-the-wound (WTW) change (calculated by Holladay, Cravy, Koch vector analysis formula) -0.70 0.44. From day there 0.55 D WTW regression minimal cylindrical axis. There no overcorrections. Conclusion: Limbal are practical, simple, forgiving approach correction
