ASTIGMATISM
Greek; A-without, Stigmos-a point/a spot (Coined by William Whewell;1849) DefinitionIt is that condition of refraction wherein a point focus of light cannot be formed upon the retina.It occurs due to unequal refraction of light in different meridians.

Acquired astigmatism• Trauma to the cornea
including surgeries
• Pressure of swellings on the lid( chalazion or tumor)
• Pterygium

• Index astigmatism
![Page 9: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Retinal astigmatism
• The posterior pole of the eye may be placed obliquely as when it bulges backwards in a staphyloma in high myopia.
![Page 10: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of astigmatism
Regular astigmatism• The two principle meridians are at right angles and
are therefore susceptible to correction– With the rule astigmatism – Against the rule astigmatism – Oblique astigmatism
Irregular astigmatism• There are irregularities in the curvature of the
meridians so that no geometric figure is adhered to• Cannot be corrected adequately by spectacles
![Page 11: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

With-The-Rule (WTR) Astigmatism
• The two principal meridians are at right angle to each other with the vertical meridian being more curved than the horizontal i.e. the greatest refractive power is at 90˚(+/-20˚)
• Corrected by convex cylinder at 90˚(+/-20˚) or concave cylinder at 180 (+/-20˚)
![Page 13: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Against-The-Rule (ATR) Astigmatism• The two principal meridians
are at right angle to each other with the horizontal meridian being more curved than the vertical i.e. the greatest refractive power is at 180˚(+/-20˚)
• Corrected by convex cylinder at 180 ˚(+/-20˚) or concave cylinder at 90 ˚(+/-20˚)
![Page 14: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Oblique (OBL) Astigmatism
• The two principal meridia are not horizontal or vertical though they are at right angle to each other.
![Page 15: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bi-oblique Astigmatism
• The two priciple meridians are not at right angle to each other but are crossed obliquely.

Regular astigmatism can further be classified as
• Simple astigmatism • Compound astigmatism• Mixed astigmatism
![Page 17: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simple astigmatism.
• One of the foci falls upon the retina while the other falls infront of or behind the retina
Simple myopic astigmatism
Simple hyperemetropic astigmatism
![Page 18: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Compound astigmatism• Neither of the foci
fall upon the retina but both are placed in-front of or behind the retina Compound myopic astigmatism
Compound hypermetropic astigmatism
![Page 19: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mixed astigmatism
• One focus is infront of the retina while the other is behind so that the refraction is hypermetropic in one direction and myopic in the other direction
Mixed astigmatism
![Page 20: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Irregular astigmatism• The refraction in different
meridians are different.• Small degree occurs
physiologically owing to minute difference in the refractive index of the lens.(accentuated by cataract)
• Marked degree occurs in pathological conditions of cornea – Irregular healing of cornea
after trauma or inflammations– Conical cornea(keratoconus)
![Page 21: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Symptoms of astigmatism
• Reduced Visual acuity• Peculiar vision• Asthenopia( more with hypermetropic
astigmatism)• Head tilt in oblique astigmatism in children• Half closure of the eyelids
![Page 22: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Clinical Tests
• Visual acuity tests – distance and near• Autorefraction• Keratometry• Retinoscopy – Most reliable source of information for cylinder
power and axis• Monocular subjective refraction– Astigmatic fan test– Jackson cross cylinder
![Page 23: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Keratometry
• It shows different corneal curvature in different meridians
![Page 24: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Retinoscopy
• Shows different power in different meridians.
• If the streak passes exactly through the axis of the astigmatism, a sharply defined reflex band is seen which moves parallel to the band of the light outside the pupil.
• If it doesn’t pass exactly through the astigmatic axis, the reflex becomes poorly defined and tends to remain fixed in the axis producing a break in the alignment between the reflex in the pupil and the band outside it tending to lie intermediate between the latter and the true astigmatic axis
![Page 25: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cross-cylinders
• Used to refine the axis and the power of the cylinder.
• Done after the cylindrical correction has been made.
• Combination of a negative and positive cylinder of equal strength (usually 0.5D) mounted at an angle of 90 degrees
• In practice combined into one piece of glass
![Page 26: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Refinement of the axis• The cross-cylinder is placed with its axis at
45˚ to the axis of the cylinder in the trial frame( first with +0.5 cylinder and then with -0.5 cylinder or vive-versa) and the patient is asked to tell any change in the visual acuity.
• If the patient notices no difference then the correcting cylinder in the trial frame is correct.
• If visual improvement is attained by one or the other the correcting cylinder is turned slightly in the direction of the axis of the cylinder of the same denomination in the cross cylinder.
• It is repeated until the position of the trial cylinder is found at which rotation of the cross cylinder gives no alteration in distinctness.
![Page 27: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Refinement of the power of the cylinder• The cross-cylinder is placed in
the same direction as the axis of the cylinder in the trial frame and then perpendicular to it.
• If the visual acuity is unimproved in either position the power of cylinder in the trial frame is correct.
• If visual acuity is improved in any of the positions then change should be made.
![Page 28: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Astigmatic fan test(Maddox V test)• The patient is asked to look
at the figure and if any of the line is more distinct than the other then astigmatism is present.
• Rotating the V slightly to the direction of the blacker limb an intermediate position is reached when the two limbs of V are equally distinct. This gives the direction at right angles to the exact axis of the correcting cylinder.
![Page 29: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Management
Optical correction • Spectacles or contact
lenses– Appropriate cylindrical
lens– Toric soft contact lenses
or toric rigid gas permeable contact lenses
![Page 30: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Guidelines for optical correction
• Small astigmatism(0.5D or less) should be treated only if there is visual deterioration or asthenopic symptoms.
• High astigmatism should be fully corrected• Change in the axis of the lenses in patients used to the
previous axis should be done cautiously• New astigmatism correction in adults is not tolerated. In
such cases it is better to undercorrect and give full correction gradually.
• Bi-oblique astigmatism, mixed and high astigmatism are better treated by contact lenses
• Spherical component should also be corrected.
![Page 31: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ManagementRefractive SurgeryIncisional correction of Astigmatism• Transverse keratotomy• Arcuate keratotomy incisions
are placed in the cornea at 7mm optical zone) to the steepest corneal meridian.
• Can correct upto 4-6D of astigmatism.
![Page 32: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Limbal relaxing incisions• Incision is given at the
limbus• Correct -1 to -2D of
astigmatism.
![Page 33: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Conductive keratoplasty• CK is a nonablative, collagen-shrinking
procedure based on the delivery of radiofrequency energy through a fine conducting tip that is inserted into the peripheral corneal stroma
• As the current flows through the tissue surrounding the tip, resistance to the current creates localized heat. Collagen lamellae in the area surrounding the tip shrink in a controlled fashion and form a column of denatured collagen. The shortening
of the collagen fibrils creates a band of tightening that increases the curvature of the central cornea.• Corrects <0.75D of astigmatism
![Page 34: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Laser based corneal refractive procedure
• Photo refractive keratotomy(uses cylindrical photoablation pattern.)—can correct upto 3D of astigmatism
• Astigmatic LASIK can correct upto 5D
• Wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimised LASIK can correct– -10 to -12D of Myopic astigmatism– +6D of hyperopic astigmatism and– +5D of mixed astigmatism
![Page 35: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Intraocular lens for correcting astigmatism
• Angle supported anterior chamber phakic IOL• Toric intraocular implant
![Page 36: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Treatment of irregular astigmatism
• Spectacles though may not provide full correction some amount of correction can be attempted
• Contact lenses• Surgical correction by keratoplasty
![Page 37: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PRESBYOPIA
![Page 38: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Definition (Latin; old man’s eye/aged eye)
Presbyopia refers to the slow, normal, naturally occurring, age-related, irreversible reduction in maximal accommodative amplitude (i.e., recession of the near point) sufficient to cause symptoms of blur and ocular discomfort or asthenopia at the customary near working distance.
![Page 39: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• first reported clinically between 40 and 45 years of age, with its peak onset between 42 and 44 years
• Its onset may occur any time from 38 to 48 years of age, depending on a variety of factors.
• From approximately age 52 years on, the prevalence of presbyopia is considered to be essentially 100%
![Page 40: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Risk factors for development of presbyopia
Refractive error• Hyperopes have their near point considerably
further away than emmetropes(exhibit apparent relatively reduced accommodative amplitudes) and thus effectively become presbyopic a few years earlier than either myopes or emmetropes.
• In the myopes develop presbyopia later in life and if he has the error of -4D, presbyopia will never develop
![Page 41: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ambient Temperature• With the eyeball being peripheral to the body
core, it may exhibit considerable surface temperature variations because of the influence of ambient temperature.
• There is an inverse relation between ambient temperature and age of onset of presbyopia
![Page 42: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Factors contributing to the age related decrease in accomodation
• Decrease in modulus of elasticity of lens capsule—cannot effectively mold the underlying lens substance
• Increase in stiffness of the lens substance—energy required to deform the lens substance increases
• Increase in size/volume of lens—decreases the effectivity of lens capsule function
![Page 43: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Anterior shift of the equatorial zonular fibres due to inrease in the size of the lens
• Decrease in equatorial zonular fibres• Increase in the number of disulfide bond in the
lens substance—stabilises the collagen molecules within the capsule and the lens by the process of cross-linking—lens substance becomes rigid and capsule becomes less elastic
• Mechanical and anatomical changes in the ciliary muscle
• Decrease in choroidal elasticity
![Page 44: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Amplitude of accomodation and age
• The amplitude of accommodation represents the maximal accommodative level, or closest near focusing response, that can be produced with maximal voluntary effort in the fully corrected eye.
• It is calculated as Accomodative amplitude(A)= diopteric power needed to see clearly at near point-diopteric power needed to see clearly at far point
![Page 45: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
At the age of 10 yrs Near point=7cm Far point=∞Hence, A= 100/7-1/∞ =14-0 =14D

Symptoms
• Reduced vision at customary near-work distance.• Drowsiness after short period of reading or near work• Reading materials must be held farther away• Asthenopia related to attempts at excessive accommodative
effort is reported. It may even lead to an accommodative spasm and pseudomyopia.
• Transient diplopia and variable esophoria may be experienced as a result of the increased accommodative response/effort and the consequent synkinetically overdriven accommodative convergence that may be difficult to control consistently using compensatory negative fusional vergence.":"

Near Acuity Tests
• Reading distance at 16 inches(40 cm)
![Page 51: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Treatment • The treatment of presbyopia is to
provide the patient with convex lenses so that his accomodation is reinforced and his near point brought within a useful working distance.
• To do this– know the working distance of the
individual– estimate his refraction– determine the amplitude of
accomodation– supplement this by appropriate
strength of lens allowing him sufficient reserve of accomodation
![Page 52: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• One-third of the amplitude of accomodation should be kept for reserve if the patient is to work comfortably
• The near correction should never be overcorrected. It should be such that the patient should be able to read the near vision chart satisfactory not only at his reading distance but also some 12-15cm further away.
![Page 53: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Example
• Emmetropic patient, whose working distance is 25cm has his near point receded to 50cm
• His amplitude of accomodation is 2D• With 1/3rd kept for reserve, remaining
amplitude is 2/3rd i.e. 1.3D• To see at the distance of 25cm, he will require
amplitude of 4D• Hence the prebyopic lens he requires is 4-1.3=2.7D
![Page 54: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Conductive keratoplasty
• conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a nonablative, collagen-shrinking procedure approved for the correction of low levels of hyperopia(+0.75 to +3.25 D). In CK, radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered through a fine conducting tip inserted into the peripheral corneal stroma in a circular pattern. The application of RF energy shrinks the collagen in the periphery, which steepens the central cornea and induces a myopic shift.
• Treatment of presbyopia inn hyperopic and emmetropic individuals

Multifocal IOLs
• They are good options for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
ReZoom Multifocal IOL showing 5 concentric refractive zones
ReSTOR multifocal IOL with apodized diffractive changes in lens surface
![Page 62: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Custom or multifocal ablations• Uses eximer laser to create a
multifocal cornea.
Corneal Inlays• Placing a biocompatible polymer
lens in the central cornea either beneath a LASIK flap or via a stromal tunnel.
• Inlays create near vision through different methods like change in corneal curvature, multifocality, pin-hole effect.

Accomodative treatment of presbyopia
Scleral surgery• Increase zonular tension
by weakening or altering the sclera over the ciliary body to allow for its passive expansion
• Consists of– Anterior ciliary
sclerotomy – Placement of scleral
expansion bands
![Page 64: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Accomodating IOLs
• During ciliary muscle contraction, forward displacement of IOL led to the increase in effective IOL power and increase in near vision
Crystalens has flexible hinge in the haptic at the proximal end and a polyamide footplate at the distal end

APHAKIA
![Page 66: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Definition :• A=without , phakia = lens• Absence of crystalline lens from the patellar
fossa
![Page 67: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
CAUSES
• Congenital absence of crystalline lens• Surgical aphakia after cataract extraction• Post-traumatic absorption of lens• Traumatic extrusion of lens• Posterior dislocation of lens
![Page 68: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Optics of an aphakic eye• High hypermetropia• Total power of the eye reduced to +44 D• Aphakic eye consists of a curved surface, ie.
cornea , separating two media of different refractive indices, air (1) and aqueous and vitreous humor (1.33)
• Anterior focal point becomes 23.2 mm in front of the anterior surface of the cornea
• Posterior focal point lies 31 mm behind the anterior surface of the cornea
• Total loss of accomodation

CLINICAL FEATURES
• Symptoms: defective vision for near and far• Signs:- Limbal scar may be seen in case of surgical aphakia- Deep anterior chamber- Jet black pupil- Iridodonesis- Purkinje image test: 3rd and 4th images are absent- Fundus examination: small hypermetropic disc
![Page 71: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
TREATMENT
Optical treatment: • Spectacles: - Standard aphakic glass ~+12.5 D Advantages: safe, easy and inexpensive
method of correcting aphakia
![Page 72: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Difficulties encountered in correcting aphakia with the use of spectacles:
- Image magnification of ~30% (cannot be used to correct unilateral aphakia as it will result in diplopia)
- Distance misjudgement leading to accidents
- Spherical aberrations resulting in “pin-cushion” effect
![Page 73: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Jack-in-the-box phenomenon• Prismatic deviation occurring
at the periphery of a strong lens gives rise to a ring of blindness around the central field.( about 15˚extending from 50˚-65˚ from central fixation)
• When the eyes move, the circle of blindness also moves(in opposite direction) so that a person or and object appear and disappear like Jack in the box.

Contact lenses
Advantages: - Less image magnification
(6-8%)- Elimination of aberrations
and prismatic effects of thick glasses
- Better field of vision- Cosmetically more
acceptable- Suitable for unilateral
aphakia
![Page 77: Astigmatism, presbyopia and aphakia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012916/55b6d72cbb61eb1d0f8b4689/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
• Disadvantages of contact lenses:- Costly- Cumbersome to use esp in children and
elderly- Associated corneal complications

IOL implantation
• Best available method of correcting aphakia
• The commonest modality being employed nowadays.

Refractive surgery for aphakia
• Keratophakia: plus power lens is placed intrastromally to increase the curvature of anterior cornea.– Homoplastic(prepared from donor cornea)– Alloplastic( prepared from synthetic material)
• Epikeratophakia: a lenticule prepared from the donor cornea is sutured to the surface of patient’s cornea after removing the epithelium
