Purpose:

To study toric IOL implantation guided by iris registration-guided femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marks and ORA

Methods:

This retrospective study included eyes that had undergone femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery followed by toric IOL implantation. Toric IOL axis alignment was guided by the innovative iris registration guided capsular marks on the capsular rim (LENSAR IntelliAxis-L system) and ORA (Alcon). Visual and refractive outcomes and prediction errors were analyzed at 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Results:

Preliminary results show reduction in astigmatism from 1.01 ± 0.79 D preoperatively to 0.12 ± 0.25 D postoperatively (P <0.001). approximately="" 81%="" eyes="" had="" no="" residual="" astigmatism="" and="" ~95%="" achieved="" ≤0.5d.="" over="" 97%="" eyes="" had="" udva="" of="" 20/30="" or="" better.="" more="" data="" are="" being="" collected.="" approximately="" 81%="" eyes="" had="" no="" residual="" astigmatism="" and="" ~95%="" achieved="" ≤0.5d.="" over="" 97%="" eyes="" had="" udva="" of="" 20/30="" or="" better.="" more="" data="" are="" being="">

Conclusions:

Iris registration-guided, femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marks and ORA are effective in guiding toric IOL alignment and reducing astigmatism following cataract surgery.
