Intraoperative aberrometry may reduce residual refractive astigmatism after toric IOL placement

Toric IOL implantation with intraoperative aberrometry was significantly more likely than standard techniques to yield less than 0.5 D of residual refractive astigmatism, according to a study.The retrospective, nonrandomized comparative trial included 37 eyes that underwent cataract extraction and toric IOL implantation with intraoperative aberrometry and 27 eyes that underwent the same surgery without intraoperative aberrometry.
