title: Correction of induced astigmatism after cataract surgery with introduction of an intraocular lens.
abstract: 1. The induced astigmatism is most frequently due to corneal scleral suturing and not tilting of the pseudophakos. 2. A simple method of reducing postoperatively induced corneal astigmatism after implantation of intraocular lens has been presented.
