Intraoperative aberrometry outperforms preop toric calculator

SAN DIEGO — The use of intraoperative aberrometry reduced postoperative astigmatism significantly more than use of a preoperative toric calculator in eyes undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, according to a study presented here.“The number of subjects falling outside the intended target was reduced by more than half using aberrometry. Intraoperative aberrometry provides significantly more accurate toric lens guidance in terms of power and axis than the preoperative toric calculator,” Robert J. Cionni, MD, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
