Abstract
Behavior of induced keratometric and cylindrical changes, (2) induced with-the-rule, against-the-rule, and oblique astigmatism, (3) comparison of keratometric and refractive astigmatism, and (4) the effect of cutting sutures upon induced astigmatism. Though a large amount of with-the-rule astigmatism was immediately induced after surgery, by the end of one year over 60% of patients shifted toward against-the-rule. *Reprint requests to Joel C.
