Corneal Incision
Astigmatism will be assessed by objective and subjective refraction by using the Autorefrectometer and retinoscop.Autorefrectometer uses to acsess the refracive state of eye by which we measure the astigmatim in patients eyes .Then after ctaract surgry in the next followup we will again use autorefrectometer to take readings and these both will be compared on visits among patients undergoing two procedures.
Toric Intraocular
Two cataract surgery techniques will be used .1 : Toric IOL lenses designed with a unique shape to help provide clear vision at all distances for individuals with astigmatism compared to give better results specially in astigmatic patients.2: Corneal Inscion is which eye surgeon makes a very small opening on the eye, next to the outer corner. to remove the catract during surgry .
