Abstract

<br>Postoperative astigmatism plays an important role in the final visual outcome of cataract surgery. In small-incision cataract surgery, proper tunnel construction is of utmost importance for good structural integrity, leading to sutureless self-sealing wounds with lesser astigmatism. We report a case of postoperative high astigmatism following manual small-incision cataract surgery due to large, irregular, superficial, and more anterior corneal entry that lead to poor tunnel valve effect and wound sagging. This resulted in a poor postoperative unaided visual outcome.<br>
