Abstract
In the two groups of patients with myopic astigmatism the uncorrected near vision was tested after cataract surgery.
Each group with 20 patients ages 60–80. All patients enrolled in study have uncorrected far vision 0.5 or better on Snellen
tables. In the fi rst group patients were with the rule after surgery myopic astigmatism (1–1.50 Diopter), and in the
second group were patients with against the rule after surgery myopic astigmatism (1–1.50 Diopter). Patients in the second
group with against the rule astigmatism achieved signifi cantly (p<0.01) better uncorrected near vision.
