making a superior corneal incision during phacoemulsification can compensate
with-the-rule astigmatism
making a superior corneal incision during phacoemulsification increases
against-the-rule astigmatism
Limbal relaxing incisions correct (how many diopters)
less than 2 D
disadvantage of Limbal relaxing incisions
lose their effect over time
preoperative marking of the axes must be done
with the head upright
For each degree of rotation away from the anticipated axis how many % of astigmatism correction is lost
3% of astigmatism correction is lost
