title: [Inverse corneal incision in cataract surgery].
abstract: In a prospective study of 100 cases of cataract surgery, astigmatism surgically induced by the reversed corneal incision technique was evaluated. There was a tendency towards with-the-rule and oblique astigmatism in the early post-operative period, but the final distribution of cases was similar to the preoperative distribution. The sutures could be left in place in about one third of the cases.
