Influence of posterior corneal astigmatism on total corneal astigmatism in eyes with moderate to high astigmatism.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To evaluate the influence of posterior corneal astigmatism on total corneal astigmatism in patients with 1.00 diopter (D) or more of corneal astigmatism. SETTING:Private practice, Bologna, Italy. DESIGN:Prospective case series. METHODS:Corneal astigmatism was measured using a Scheimpflug camera combined with a corneal topographer (Sirius). Keratometric astigmatism, anterior corneal astigmatism, posterior corneal astigmatism, and total corneal astigmatism were evaluated. Vector analysis was performed according to the Næser method. RESULTS:One hundred fifty-seven eyes were enrolled. Keratometric astigmatism was with the rule (WTR), against the rule (ATR), and oblique in 84.0%, 11.5%, and 4.5% of eyes, respectively. Posterior corneal astigmatism exceeded 0.50 D and 1.00 D in 55.4% of eyes and 5.7% of eyes, respectively. The mean posterior corneal astigmatism was 0.54 D, inclined 91 degrees in relation to the steeper anterior corneal meridian. The steepest meridian was vertically aligned in 93.0% of cases. Compared with total corneal astigmatism, keratometric astigmatism overestimated WTR astigmatism by a mean of 0.22 D ± 0.32 (SD), underestimated ATR astigmatism by 0.21 ± 0.26 D, and overestimated oblique astigmatism by 0.13 ± 0.37 D. In the whole sample, a difference in astigmatism magnitude of 0.50 D or more was detected between keratometric astigmatism and total corneal astigmatism in 16.6% of cases and the difference in the location of the steep meridian was greater than 10 degrees in 3.8% of cases. CONCLUSION:In patients who are candidates for surgical correction of astigmatism, measuring only the anterior corneal curvature can lead to inaccurate evaluation of the total corneal astigmatism.
