Abstract

Purpose. To analyze the prevalence and presentation patterns of corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery candidates in a teaching hospital in northern China. Methods. From May 1, 2012, to April 30, 2013, partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster) measurements of all qualified cataract surgery candidates were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results. The study evaluated 12,449 eyes from 6,908 patients with a mean age of 69.80 ± 11.15 (SD) years. The corneal astigmatism was 0.5 diopters (D) or less in 20.76% of eyes, 1.0 D or more in 47.27% of eyes, 2.0 D or more in 13.16% of eyes, and 3.0 D or more in 3.75% of eyes. With-the-rule astigmatism was found in 30.36% of eyes, while against-the-rule was found in 52.41% of eyes. The percentage of against-the-rule astigmatism increased with age. Conclusion. Our study showed that almost one-half of preoperative eyes (47.27%) in northern China have a corneal astigmatism of 1.0 D or more, indicating that more surgical techniques or toric IOLs are needed to achieve better visual rehabilitation.

<abstract>
<p>
<italic>Purpose</italic>
. To analyze the prevalence and presentation patterns of corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery candidates in a teaching hospital in northern China.
<italic>Methods</italic>
. From May 1, 2012, to April 30, 2013, partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster) measurements of all qualified cataract surgery candidates were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
<italic>Results</italic>
. The study evaluated 12,449 eyes from 6,908 patients with a mean age of 69.80 ± 11.15 (SD) years. The corneal astigmatism was 0.5 diopters (D) or less in 20.76% of eyes, 1.0 D or more in 47.27% of eyes, 2.0 D or more in 13.16% of eyes, and 3.0 D or more in 3.75% of eyes. With-the-rule astigmatism was found in 30.36% of eyes, while against-the-rule was found in 52.41% of eyes. The percentage of against-the-rule astigmatism increased with age.
<italic>Conclusion</italic>
. Our study showed that almost one-half of preoperative eyes (47.27%) in northern China have a corneal astigmatism of 1.0 D or more, indicating that more surgical techniques or toric IOLs are needed to achieve better visual rehabilitation.</p>

<title>1. Introduction</title>
<p>Phacoemulsification is one of the most successfully and commonly performed cataract surgeries worldwide. With the development of modern surgical techniques and intraocular lenses (IOLs), patients expect and demand refractive error correction after cataract surgery. Advances in the calculation of IOL power have significantly reduced the incidence of spherical refractive errors, while residual astigmatism after surgery is a concern for both ophthalmologists and patients and can leave patients with symptomatic decreased visual function [
<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
].</p>
<p>Partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Berlin, Germany) is widely used due to its superior performance in the measurement of ocular axial length. The IOLMaster analyzes six light reflections projected onto the anterior corneal surface within a 2.3 mm radius and can also be used as an automated keratometer (AK). Recent reports have shown that IOLMaster can precisely measure preoperative corneal astigmatism and can predict the residual corneal astigmatism after cataract surgery [
<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
].</p>
<p>The distribution and prevalence of corneal astigmatism in cataract patients of different countries have been previously reported [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. An estimated 13,780,000 cases of blindness have been caused by cataracts in China [
<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
] and two groups from Guangzhou [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
] and Shanghai [
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] have reported the distribution of corneal astigmatism before cataract surgery in southern and central China. However, there are no similar reports for cataract patients in northern China. This study reviewed all of the cataract cases in one year in one of the largest eye hospitals in China to investigate the prevalence of corneal astigmatism in a large sample in northern China. The findings may aid hospitals and manufacturing companies in evaluating the requirement for the use of toric IOLs or other reported surgical methods.</p>

<title>2. Patients and Methods</title>
<p>Retrospective biometry data were collected for all patients who had routine cataract surgery at the Tianjin Eye Hospital between May 1, 2012, and April 30, 2013. Cataract patients with a history of ocular surgery, corneal disease, and inflammation and with an age younger than 30 years old and a dense cataract that did not allow IOLMaster measurement were excluded. Routine eye examinations were performed before operation, including visual acuity, refraction, tonometry, slit lamp evaluation, and dilated fundus examination. The study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at the Tianjin Eye Hospital and all procedures adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. All patients provided written informed consent. Three experienced technicians collected the keratometric data for consecutive patients using IOLMaster version 5.3 and the mean of five measurements was used for the parameters.</p>
<p>Data were analyzed by the R software package version 2.15.2 R Core Team (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria, ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.R-project.org/">http://www.R-project.org/</ext-link>
). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to evaluate the normal distribution of variables. The results showed that the data were normally distributed, except for the data regarding astigmatisms. One-way analysis of variance and the Kruskal-Wallis test were applied for the comparison of variance for normally and nonnormally distributed data among different age groups, respectively. The
<italic>t</italic>
-test was used to compare keratometry between the two groups and a Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare corneal astigmatism data. Spearman's rank test was used to assess the relationship between age and astigmatism. A
<italic>P</italic>
value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.</p>

presents a histogram of the frequency distribution of corneal astigmatism. Among all of the patients, astigmatism of 0.51 to 1.00 D was the most common cylinder value (32.54%), followed by 1.01 to 1.50 D (21.29%) and 0.0 to 0.50 D (20.76%). In total, 3200 eyes (25.41%) exhibited a corneal astigmatism of 1.5 D or greater.</p>

Most eyes in this cohort were between 71 and 80 years old, which represented more than one-third (36.28%) of all cases. Patients between 61 and 70 years old represented one-fourth (25.91%) of all cases.</p>

<title>4. Discussion</title>
<p>This study determined the distribution of corneal astigmatism in different age groups in northern China. Several studies have investigated the prevalence of corneal astigmatism using IOLMaster [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
], which not only affords the measurement of corneal status but also enables the easy and reliable calculation of IOLs as well as postoperative refraction data. The IOLMaster database was accessed for all cataract candidates in an entire year. The results showed that the mean age was slightly younger than previously reported data [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] and that the 71–80-year-old age group occupied 36.28% of all cases, followed by the 61–70-year-old age group (25.91%) and the 81–90-year-old age group (16.01%); these results were similar to those of Chen et al. report from Guangzhou [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
] but differed from those of Khan and Muhtaseb's report [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. Khan et al. reported that the 71–80-year-old age group was the largest, followed by the 81–90- and 61–70-year-old age groups [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. In terms of gender distribution, our study showed that the number of female patients was greater than that of males, which is consistent with other published studies [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
].</p>
<p>ATR astigmatism was the predominant group, comprising 52.41% of the cases, and the prevalence increased with age, except for the 30–40-year-old age group, which showed a slightly higher percentage than the 41–50-year-old age group. Selection bias may account for this finding because the 30–40-year-old age group represented only 1.32% of all cases. By contrast, the percentage of WTR astigmatism decreased with age. These findings are generally consistent with those of previous studies [
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
,
<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,
<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
].</p>
<p>The mean corneal astigmatism of this cohort was 1.15 ± 0.84 D (range from 0.0 to 6.84 D), which is slightly higher than that in other published studies [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
,
<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. The right (1.17 D) and left eyes (1.13 D) significantly differed, which is in contrast to the findings of Hoffmann and Hütz's study [
<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. Interestingly, the corneal astigmatism in females (1.19 D) was significantly greater than that in males (1.11 D).</p>
<p>In our study, 20.76% of eyes had a corneal astigmatism of 0.5 D or less, which is lower than the results from other groups [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. A large proportion of eyes (47.27%) had a corneal astigmatism of 1.0 D or greater, which is higher than the results reported by the abovementioned groups. Additionally, 3.75% of eyes had 3.0 D of corneal astigmatism [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
], which is a greater prevalence than that reported by the other two Chinese studies (2.22%, 3.52%) but is lower than that reported by European studies (5.61%, 4.61%) [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. All age groups showed a similar distribution pattern of corneal astigmatism, except for the 30–40- and above 91-year-old age groups, which showed some variation in the astigmatism distribution. A previous study showed a similar distribution pattern [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
].</p>
<p>Several techniques exist to correct corneal astigmatism, including limbal relaxing incisions [
<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
], opposite clear corneal incisions [
<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
], excimer laser refractive procedures [
<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
,
<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
], femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy [
<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
,
<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
], and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation [
<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. The procedure chosen primarily depends on the precise measurements of preoperative corneal astigmatism.</p>
<p>A clear corneal incision may result in a surgically induced corneal astigmatism in patients with 0.5 D [
<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
]. In our study, 53.30% of eyes had a corneal astigmatism of 1.0 D or less and received sufficient correction through the performance of on-axis phacoemulsification combined with monofocal IOL implantation [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. Meanwhile, 23.41% of eyes exhibited more than 1.50 D of corneal astigmatism in our study, which is similar to the findings of Khan et al. (20.5%) [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
] and Ferrer-Blasco et al. (22%) [
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
], although their studies required more manipulations or techniques to correct for better visual rehabilitation. Other techniques, such as manual or femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy, were used to correct much worse corneal astigmatisms [
<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
,
<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]. Recently, limbal femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal arcuate keratotomy has been used for corneal astigmatisms of 1.50 ± 0.47 D [
<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. However, the results of this procedure are unpredictable or are associated with complications [
<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
,
<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. Considering the high cost of femtosecond laser surgery, the majority of the population in China cannot afford such procedures.</p>
<p>Toric IOLs have been used clinically since they were first described by Shimizu et al. [
<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
], with encouraging results [
<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. An analysis of the distribution of corneal astigmatism in a large cohort of cataract candidates will provide valuable information and benefits for manufacturers, ophthalmologists, and cataract patients. At present, toric IOLs can be used to correct corneal astigmatisms from 0.4 D to 8.4 D [
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] during cataract surgery. In our case series, 1.51 D to 3.50 D represented 23.37% of all cases, most of which could be effectively corrected with toric IOLs. The higher cost of new IOLs may be another burden for patients and health insurance companies.</p>
<p>Corneal astigmatism changes significantly with age [
<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,
<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
<xref rid="B39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
]. Our study and the two previous Chinese investigations support this tendency [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. The mean values of K1, K2, corneal astigmatism, and other parameters in our study were slightly higher than those reported by some other studies [
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] but closely resemble those from reports from Shanghai [
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] and Guangzhou [
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
], China. Possible reasons may be the inclusion of different racial and ethnic groups, different inclusion criteria, and different age distributions, among others. Our retrospective study was clinically based, which may lead to some selection bias. One advantage of our study is that we selected all of the cataract surgery candidates from an entire year, which presented more than one-half of cataract surgery cases in the same year in Tianjin, a city with 12,280,000 people
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianjin">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tianjin</ext-link>
.</p>
<p>In conclusion, our study revealed the distribution of all cataract candidates in one year in a single hospital in northern China. A number of our cases (47.27%) exhibited a corneal astigmatism of 1.0 D or more. Corneal astigmatism increases with age. With an aging population and a higher demand for improved vision, the need for astigmatism correction with toric IOLs or other methods will increase accordingly.</p>
