Research Article: Repositioning Rates of Toric IOLs Implanted in Cataract Surgery Patients: A Retrospective Chart Review
Introduction:
Implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) is a well-established method for correcting astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery. To achieve the desired postoperative visual acuity, the axis of astigmatism must be accurately determined preoperatively, the toric IOL must be precisely aligned intraoperatively, and it must remain on the intended axis postoperatively. For every degree of toric IOL misalignment, there is an approximately .% loss of astigmatism correction; a toric IOL misalignment of ° causes ~%…
