We report a study of astigmatism and postoperative complications in 170 eyes following phacoemulsification and implantation of a flexible silicone intraocular lens (SI-18NB) in the capsular bag. No significant difference existed between the preoperative mean astigmatism and the postoperative mean astigmatism after 7 days and after 1 month. Complications were infrequent and compared with those associated with PMMA intraocular lenses.
