[Post-operative residual astigmatism after cataract surgery: Current surgical methods of treatment].
Residual astigmatism after cataract surgery can be corrected by three different techniques: classic limbal relaxing incisions, easy to perform but with limited precision; laser refractive surgery (PRK or Lasik), additionally allowing for correction of spherical equivalent; and more recently the use of a piggyback toric intraocular lens in the ciliary sulcus.
