The location of incision in cataract surgery and its impact on induced astigmatism.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of the present study is a systematic review of previous studies on choosing the best incision site for the correction of astigmatism in cataract surgery and assessing the amount of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) with each approach.

Recent Findings: Regardless of astigmatism axis, studies show that using an on-axis incision is associated with favorable results for 0.5-1.
