The Effects of Distance Between the Corneal Apex and the Inner and Outer Corneal Wound Edges on Corneal Astigmatism After Cataract Surgery

CONCLUSIONS:</span><p>Corneal astigmatism was affected more by inner incision distance than outer incision distance, and a larger change in the posterior SIA was noted with decreasing inner incision distance. During cataract surgery, the position of the inner corneal incision should be considered rather than the outer incision.</p><p><b>[<i>J Refract Surg.</i> 2017;33(7):460 –468.]</b></p></div>
