Abstract

Cataract surgery has evolved into a precise refractive procedure with the goal of achieving optimal postoperative visual outcomes. Residual astigmatism significantly affects uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), making its correction during phacoemulsification an important determinant of patient satisfaction. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of various methods of astigmatism correction—clear corneal incision, limbal relaxing incision (LRI), and toric intraocular lens (IOL)—performed during phacoemulsification surgery. Materials and Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, comparative study was conducted on 60 patients with age-related cataract and pre-existing corneal astigmatism (
