Security stitches or 'Preplaced sutures' were used earlier - no longer used. However, may be used where severe vitreous upthrust is expected or an Expulsiive Hge has occured in the other eye.
Since 5 sutures are applied it is difficult to control astigmatism very accurately. Nevertheless, small measures like radial sutures, equally spaced, bites equidistant from incision & keeping the tension just right - go a long way.
Thanks for sharing, I was wondering, is there a time when you put security stitches before the extraction of the cataract?
Is there a way you prefer to put stitches to prevent the least astigmatism possible?
Awesome video :)

Thanks for your interest and appreciation.
