In the context of intermediate coupling theory, the forms of the self-energy and effective-mass tensor of the optical polaron, in appropriate uniaxial crystals with complex structure, are obtained. These forms contain all sources of anisotropy; the effective-mass tensor of the "bare" electron, the electron – optical-phonon interaction, and the angular dependence of the "true" phonoic modes. A numerical application is developed in the case of the CdS crystal.
