Aphakic eyes possess considerably less oblique astigmatism than phakic eyes. The possibility that posterior iris displacement after lens extraction accounts for the observed reduction in oblique astigmatism is tested in this study. Oblique astigmatism was calculated for a phakic and an aphakic schematic eye. With no iris displacement little reduction of oblique astigmatism occurred contrary to experimental findings. However, introduction of varying levels of iris displacement reduced this aberration to values found experimentally. Posterior iris displacement (mean = 1.19 mm) was confirmed in vivo by pre- and postoperative anterior chamber pachometry in eight patients.
