This online tool assists ophthalmologists in determining the appropriate intraocular lens power and placement for patients undergoing cataract surgery who also have astigmatism. It uses patient-specific data, such as pre-operative measurements of the eye’s curvature and refractive error, to recommend a specific lens model and alignment axis. This precision contributes to improved visual outcomes by reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses after the procedure.
Precise intraocular lens selection is critical for successful cataract surgery outcomes, particularly for patients with astigmatism. Historically, achieving optimal vision correction required additional procedures or reliance on corrective eyewear post-surgery. This advanced technology represents a significant advancement in personalized ophthalmic care, allowing surgeons to tailor treatment to individual patient needs and enhance post-operative visual acuity. It streamlines the surgical planning process and empowers surgeons to achieve more predictable and precise results.
