[Corneal astigmatism following a 2-step scleral incision in cataract operations with implantation of posterior chamber lenses].
The postoperative astigmatism of 987 eyes after cataract extraction was studied with reference to behavior in the course of time, axis, and amount. The late post-operative distribution (6 months) of astigmatism approximates the preoperative values. Using Euler's method, the influence of surgical technique and surgeon on the refractive power of the cornea was investigated. The standard deviation of refractive power is more than twice the influence of surgeon and different surgical technique (extracapsular cataract extraction versus phakoemulsification).
