Intraoperative aberrometry enhances IOL power calculation in astigmatic eyes

With careful use, intraoperative aberrometry provides valuable and otherwise unattainable data to improve refractive outcomes in cataract surgery, according to one surgeon.“We don’t know what the surgically induced astigmatism is going to be until we make our incision, and although there are devices out there that are starting to measure posterior corneal curvature better, I think aberrometry combines those two hard-to-obtain pieces of information the best,” John P. Berdahl, MD, said at OSN New York 2015.
