Astigmatism control for the cataract surgeon: a comprehensive review of surgically tailored astigmatism reduction
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
It is increasingly possible for the cataract surgeon to control astigmatism. Based on a review of 4,000 consecutive patients, three categories of astigmatism and cataract patients are identified. A specific approach to astigmatism control for each category is discussed. Preliminary results on the use of astigmatic keratotomy in conjunction with cataract surgery are presented.
