Paper Title:
Effect of Chalazion Excision on corneal topography and refractive error in Indian Population: A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Healthcare Centre in India.
PURPOSE: The goal of our study was to compare changes in corneal curvature before and after chalazion excision.
Methods: 40 eyes from 40 patients with upper eyelid chalazion were enrolled in this prospective followup study .Chalazion were excised by standard transconjunctival vertical incision. Corneal curvature were evaluated by corneal topography preoperatively ,on d and 6 weeks postoperatively respectively.
Result: In Group 1 which had chalazion of size 3 to 5mm there was insignificant change in refraction,corneal curvature(K1,K2) ,astigmatism before and after chalazion excision.
In Group 2 which included eyes with a chalazion of more than 5mm there was significant improvement in refraction(cylindrical power) , Corneal curvature(K1,K2) and astigmatism pre and postoperatively on 6 weeks after chalazion excision.
There was no significant change on 7 days postoperatively.Visual acuity and spherical correction remained unchanged.
Conclusion:
The present study concludes that large sized upper eyelid chalazion induces greatest change in corneal topography. Centrally located large sized chalazion induce significant astigmatism which decreases following excision. Thus, we recommend early surgical excision of chalazion>5 mm in order to produce visual improvement.
