Objective: to increase effectiveness and safety of arched automated astigmatic keratotomy by its step- by- step performance and application of keratotopographic data.

Material and methods: 83 operations in 63 patients who were performed arched automated astigmatic keratotomy with the aid of the arcutome of Pallikaris under the control of keratotopography.

Results: there was revealed a significant decrease of the degree of astigmatism (3. 6±0. 04) D before the operation to (0. 8±0. 02)D after the operation. No complications were revealed.

Conclusions: step-by-step performance of keratotopographically controlled arched relaxing incisions allows to correct astigmatism within 3. 0 D without the risk of perforation, hypercorrection and errors in the axes.
