title: Postoperative astigmatism in cataract surgery.
abstract: The postoperative visual results after cataract surgery are sometimes disappointing because of induced astigmatism. A good wound construction is mandatory. A scleral incision, which is astigmatism neutral, is preferred. In case of corneal or limbal incision great care must be given to the placement and the tension of the sutures.
