Exploring the impact of extraocular disorders and their surgical correction on corneal astigmatism and higher-order aberrations: a comprehensive review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Extraocular disorders and their surgical management can significantly influence corneal astigmatism and higher-order aberrations (HOAs). This review aimed to evaluate the relationship between extraocular conditions, their surgical correction, and subsequent changes in corneal astigmatism and HOAs. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, including studies published between 1992 and 2024. Search terms included astigmatism, eyelid surgery, thyroid eye disease (TED), orbital decompression, blepharoplasty, chalazion, dermatochalasis, ptosis, pterygium, scleral buckle, and HOAs. The reviewed literature demonstrates that a wide spectrum of extraocular disorders (such as ptosis, dermatochalasis, TED, chalazion, and pterygium) are associated with clinically significant changes in corneal astigmatism and HOAs. These alterations are affected by factors including lesion size, anatomical location, and the type of surgical intervention. For instance, ptosis surgery may either reduce or induce astigmatism depending on patient age and surgical technique, while chalazion excision and pterygium removal frequently lead to meaningful reductions in astigmatism and HOAs, particularly in cases involving larger lesions. The timing of postoperative evaluation and surgical approach plays a critical role in the magnitude and persistence of these optical changes. Awareness of the impact of extraocular diseases and their surgical treatment on corneal astigmatism and HOAs is essential for accurate interpretation of refractive changes, postoperative follow-up, and optimal patient management.
