Corneal Topographic Analysis in Patients with Cataract

We studied the corneal curvature of 161 eyes in 101 patients, aged from 50 to 80 years (mean: 63 years), with senile cataract using the Topographic Modeling System (IMS) preoperatively. The results revealed that mean surface asymmetry index (SAD was 0. 36 and mean surface regularity index (SRI) 0. 79. Simulated keratometry reading (Sim K) was 44. 46 D, and 43. 56 D. Minimun K reading was 42. 60 D. The same patterns of corneal topography in both eyes were 50% in 60 patients who had binocular examination....
