title: [Control of corneal astigmatism following IOL implantation by Nd:YAG laser selective suture cutting].
abstract: Nd:YAG laser was used to cut the sutures selectively to reduce the postoperative corneal with-the-rule astigmatism in 48 eyes that underwent posterior chamber IOL implantation. A significant decrease in corneal astigmatism with visual improvement was affected, and the manipulation was simple. The actual procedure with its advantages and disadvantages was discussed.
