Objective:

To analyze the factors influencing changes in the kappa angle before and after cataract surgery, which is crucial for optimizing the selection of appropriate multifocal intraocular lenses and improving patient outcomes.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• The kappa angle is influenced by various ocular parameters, including axial length and age.
• Changes in the kappa angle were observed post-surgery, with specific factors such as axial length and age potentially affecting these changes.
• No postoperative complications were reported, indicating the safety of the surgical technique used.

Interpretation:

Understanding the factors affecting the kappa angle can help optimize the selection of multifocal IOLs and potentially reduce adverse postoperative reactions.

Limitations:

• The study was limited to a specific patient population and may not be generalizable, potentially affecting the applicability of the findings.
• The sample size of 95 eyes may limit the statistical power of the findings, which could impact the reliability of the conclusions drawn.

Conclusion:

This study provides insights into the factors influencing kappa angle changes post-cataract surgery, which could guide IOL selection and improve patient outcomes.
