Abstract
Total post-operative refractive astigmatism and keratometric corneal astigmatism were determined in patients following cataract surgery. By comparing the results of the two methods, the value of keratometry as a simple and quick procedure for identification of surgically induced astigmatic errors was established. It is proposed that this method should be used before final refraction in an attempt to increase clinic efficiency and reduce further appointments resulting from surgically induced astigmatism.Keywords
