Black, MBBS, FRANZCO, FRACS, and colleagues compared the efficacy of aligning toric IOLs (Abbott Medical Optics) using corneal ink marks in 507 patients compared with using the Callisto markerless system (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in 161 patients in order to determine the proportion of patients with 0.5 (Read more...)
