This neutral cataract incision is reached by the method of phacoemulsification with a small incision and implantation of foldable intraocular lens. In case of preoperative astigmatism is an effective method the implantation of a toric intraocular lens. The authors evaluate the first results of pre and postoperative refraction after implantation of ten toric intraocular lenses.
