Of those, 38.8% developed postoperative significant astigmatism. Significant astigmatism postkeratoplasty was found to be affected by preoperative diagnosis with corneal dystrophy being the most common indication associated with significant postoperative astigmatism. Significant astigmatism was significantly correlated with long-term topical steroid use, longer follow-up duration, and the first keratoplasty (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
