Induced astigmatism after implantation of Acrysof MA 60 BM and Hydroview H 60 M intraocular lenses

: The purpose was to find an induced corneal astigmatism after cataract surgery. Change in the keratometric cylinder was examined in two ways by the vector analysis according to Jaffe/Clayman and according to Cravy. In the majority of cases we examined excellent visual acuity in only the first week after surgery. Concerning the mean actual keratometric cylinder values for the first eight postoperative months, in both groups induced astigmatism and rotation of cylinder axis was absolutely minimalized.
