Objective: To evaluate the astigmatism induced by cataract surgery through the phacoemulsification (PHACO) technique guided by the VERION® surgical planner, in an ophthalmological service of Paraná. Methods: This is an observational study with retrospective individualized evaluation of medical records, analyzing 37 eyes of 20 patients who underwent cataract surgery using the PHACO technique using VERION® and non-toric intraocular lens implantation at the Hospital de Olhos de Cascavel - PR in May 2016. Results: Within our sample of 37 eyes approached with VERION® assistance, 43% of study participants (n=16) had reduced initial astigmatism, including elimination of more severe degrees of astigmatism (=2.5 D). Conclusion: The impact of VERION® was significant as it allowed the correction of previous astigmatism of a part of the sample. In eyes that had surgically induced astigmatism, this complication was less clinically relevant compared to conventional technique corneal incisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
