Abstract
A surgical method for the correction of simple myopic astigmatism is d escribed. It consists of two parallel incisions made only on the steep est meridian. In the given examples, we cart see how the parallel inci sions flatten both meridians. This flattening can be as much as 1.5D o f the optical defect and as much as 2 or 2.5D by keratometry.
