AIM: To determine the surgically induced @entity940 (SIA) in Straight, Frown and Inverted V shape (Chevron) incisions in manual small incision @entity231 surgery (SICS). METHODS: A prospective cross sectional study was done on a total of 75 @entity1 aged 40y and above with senile @entity231 . The @entity1 were randomly divided into three groups (25 each). Each group received a particular type of incision (Straight, Frown or Inverted V shape incisions). Manual SICS with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed. The @entity1 were compared 4wk post operatively for uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and SIA. All calculations were performed using the SIA calculator version 2.1, a free software program. The study was analyzed using SPSS version 15.0 statistical analysis software. RESULTS: The study found that 89.5% of @entity1 in Straight incision group, 94.2% in Frown incision group and 95.7% in Inverted V group attained BCVA post-operatively in the range of 6/6 to 6/18. Mean SIA was minimum (-0.88  0.61D*90 degrees) with Inverted V incision which was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Inverted V (Chevron) incision gives minimal SIA.

Comparison of surgically induced XXXX in various incisions in manual small incision @entity231 surgery.
