Changes in Keratometry Pre and Post Pterygium Excison Surgery
Abstract: Purpose: To study the change in keratometry post pterygium excision surgery in pterygium patients. Materials and Method: A prospective study of 50 patients of primary pterygium was done. Pre operative assessment was done for all patients which included best corrected visual acuity, refractive error, keratometry values (KH & KV), evaluation and grading of pterygium & detailed ocular and posterior segment examination. All patients underwent surgery for pterygium excision. Post-surgery patients were evaluated on day 30th for best corrected visual acuity, refractive error, keratometry values. P values were determined for change in keratometry readings. Results: The mean pre-op K1 value was significantly lesser compared to mean post-op K1 value as per Student t-test (38.79?2.88 D vs. 43.51?1.48 D; p
