The clinical features of simple myopic astigmatism

Abstract

Purpose: Evaluation of the clinical features of simple myopic astigmatism.Methods: In the framework of the follow-up observation of surveyed 64 patients (128 eyes) with the phenomena of simple myopic astigmatism in both eyes without concomitant ocular pathology.Results: the most common are weak (up to 1.0 D — 42%, 1.25-2.0 D — 28%) of the value, expressed astigmatism (more than 2.0 D) is observed in 30% of cases. In terms of direct myopic astigmatism up to 1.0 D the most characteristic visual acuity is 0.6-0.7, when the value of astigmatism from 1.25 up to 2.0 D the most frequently noted visual acuity is 0.3-0.5. the indicator of «primary use» statistically significantly depended on the indicator «astenopic complaints» (correlation coefficient was 0.59 is 0.72, p<0.0001).Conclusion: the emergence of the patient with visually-intensive work (especially working in conditions of shortage of time) re- quires of excimer laser correction for the preservation of visual capacity and the required level of professional reliability, as well as the extension of the professional longevity of the body of view.
