Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation of the astigmatism induced in two groups of consecutive surgeries for cataract. At risk is the hypothesis that phacoemulsification (Group 2) induces less astigmatism than extracapsular cataract extraction (Group 1) in a series.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
