Abstract
Journal of Refractive Surgery | ABSTRACTPURPOSE: To investigate the refractive results of clear corneal incision performed at the steepest meridian of pre-existing corneal astigmatism.METHODS: One hundred eighty-two patients with astigmatism >0.75 diopters (D) were evaluated. Superior, temporal, nasal, supe rotemporal, or superonasal clear corneal incisions were performed at the steep meridian. Refraction, visual acuity, andKeywords
