%X <b>Objective</b><b>:</b> To study the postoperative evolution of corneal astigmatism following phaco-alternative at the University Hospital Center of Ou&#233;m&#233;-Plateau (UHC-OP) in Porto-Novo. <b>Method</b><b>:</b> This was a prospective, cross-sectional study with a descriptive and analytical purpose conducted from April 19 to September 20, 2021; a period of 6 months. The study included all patients presenting with senile or non-senile cataracts without a history of corneal trauma and who underwent phaco-alternative during the study period. <b>Results</b><b>:</b> A total of 62 eyes underwent phaco-alternative. The average age was 63 &#177; 12 years with a male predominance of 59.7%. Phaco-alternative was performed with 74.2% linear incision and 25.8% smile incision. Perioperative incidents were mainly capsular ruptures with vitreous loss occurring in 8.1% of cases. The mean preoperative astigmatism was 1.29 &#177; 1.5 D with an axis of 180&#730; &#177; 20&#730;, indicating with-the-rule astigmatism. The mean postoperative astigmatism was 2.2 &#177; 1.5 D with an axis of 90&#730; &#177; 20&#730;, indicating against-the-rule astigmatism. The mean induced astigmatism at Day 30 was 1.4 &#177; 1.2 D for smile incision and 1.8 &#177; 1.2 D for linear incision. <b>Conclusion</b><b>:</b> Phaco-alternative yields good results with few complications but remains astigmatogenic. The smile incision appears to be less astigmatogenic.
