Detailed Description
Based on preoperative keratometry and using the Baylor Nomogram and a standard factor for surgically-induced astigmatism, the investigators will calculate "keratometry-based total astigmatism" for each patient. This will be compared to "aberrometry-based total astigmatism", i.e. the total astigmatism measured by ORA in each case. With this information the investigators will determine in what portion of patients keratometry-based total astigmatism vs aberrometry-based total astigmatism predicts a need for astigmatism correction, (i.e., total astigmatism is greater than or equal to 0.5 D) during cataract surgery.

Hypothesis: Intraoperative aberrometry measures lower levels of astigmatism more accurately than preoperative biometry in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of Patients requiring Astigmatism Correction [up to 3 months]
Proportion of patients requiring astigmatism correction, i.e., having need for astigmatism correction of greater than or equal to 0.5 D during cataract surgery, when measured by preoperative keratometry vs intraoperative aberrometry.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patients with Postoperative residual astigmatism 0.5 to 1.0 diopter [up to 3 months]
Looking at patients whose ORA-based total astigmatism was greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.0 diopter, did patients receiving astigmatism correction have less postoperative residual astigmatism than those who did not receive astigmatism correction?
- Patients with Postoperative residual astigmatism 1.0 to 1.5 diopter [up to 3 months]
Looking at patients whose ORA-based total astigmatism was greater than 1.0 and less than or equal to 1.5 diopter,m did patients receiving astigmatism correction have less postoperative residual astigmatism than those who did not receive astigmatism correction?
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients who underwent conventional (non-femtosecond) cataract surgery and whose "data to be collected" are accessible and available from the ORA database.
-
Patients whose medical records show they did not exhibit any significant ocular morbidity that would be expected to influence outcome measures.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with visually significant co-morbidities (corneal, retina, optic nerve disease) that could affect their visual outcome or ability to be refracted after.
-
Patients with surgical complications either during or after surgery (capsule tears, iris trauma, decentered IOL, cystoid macular edema, etc.)
-
Patients with previous refractive surgery.
