• The performance of eyes with 0.5 diopter cylindrical error fully corrected resulted in significantly better: – Distance contrast acuity at 100% and 25%– Photopic contrast at 6, 12, 18 cpd– Mesopic contrast at 6 cpd– Glare contrast at 3, 6 cpd– Mean reading speed
Summary
• The performance of eyes with 0.75 diopter cylindrical error fully corrected resulted in significantly better: – Distance contrast acuity at 100% , 25% and 10%– Photopic contrast at 3, 6, 12, 18 cpd– Mesopic contrast at 3, 6 cpd– Glare contrast at 3, 6, 18 cpd– Mean and maximum reading speed

• Correction of astigmatism as low as 0.50 and 0.75 diopters improves the visual performance
• Surgeons must strive to adopt techniques and IOLs that eliminate the pre-existing
astigmatism, such as microincision phacoemulsification approach and using Toric IOLs
Implications
![Page 12: OHM Effect of low-to-moderate degrees of refractive astigmatism on Contrast sensitivity and Reading speed in pseudophakic eyes Shetal M. Raj, DO, MS, Abhay](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bff11a28abf838cbb678/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
High and Low contrast acuity, contrast sensitivity, Reading acuity was significantly better when correcting 0.5 and 0.75 dioptres of refractive astigmatism as compared to correcting with spherical equivalent and not giving cylindrical correction in the spectacles.
