It is important to be aware of the distribution, extent, and type of astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract surgery to guide in reducing postoperative spectacle dependency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>AIM:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To study the demography, amount, and pattern of astigmatism using partial coherence interferometry in patients of different age groups undergoing cataract surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional observational study. Keratometry and demography data were collected for patients planned for cataract surgery at a tertiary care center between January 2018 and December 2019. It was done with noncontact partial coherence interferometry in patients above 50 years undergoing cataract surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Out of 385 patients, 216 (56%) were males and 169 (44%) were females. Astigmatism was more common in males than females (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.00). Against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism was found in 262 cases (68%), while with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism was seen in 87 cases (23%). ATR was more common than WTR (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.00). The number of patients with ATR seems to be increased with aging eyes and was more common between 61 and 70 years of age group (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.00).
