title: Effect of the against the rule myopic astigmatism on the near vision of the elderly.
abstract: In the two groups of patients with myopic astigmatism the uncorrected near vision was tested after catatract surgery. Each group with 20 patients ages 60-80. All patients enrolled in study have uncorrected far vision 0.5 or better on Snellen tables. In the first group patients were with the rule after surgery myopic astigmatism (1-1.50 Diopter), and in the second group were patients with against the rule after surgery myopic astigmatism (1-1.50 Diopter). Patients in the second group with against the rule astigmatism achieved significantly (p<0.01) better uncorrected near vision.
