OSN Europe: Endodiathermy marks useful in cases of postoperative toric IOL rotation

Imperative to the efficacy of all toric IOLs is the position of the IOL with regards to the intended alignment axis because every degree of misalignment leads to residual astigmatism. Misalignment of the IOL may be caused by either inaccurate placement or rotation of the IOL.Toric IOLs represent a significant advance in achieving optimal cylindrical and spherical refractions after IOL surgery and are the preferred method for correcting pre-existing astigmatism during cataract surgery. Accurate rotational stability and axial alignment of toric IOLs are critical to the efficacy of surgery. Each (Read more...)
