Match problem with action to correct toric IOL misalignment
Refractive error due to toric IOL misalignment can be addressed if the problem is matched with the appropriate corrective action, according to one surgeon.Toric IOL misalignment has dramatic effects on vision. Rotation of 3° decreases cylinder correction by 10%, 10° by 35% and with 30°, the axis of residual cylinder is rotated to a new axis, usually oblique. Results may be worse than preoperatively even with the same magnitude of cylinder correction.
