Simple technique to measure toric intraocular lens alignment and stability using a smartphone (original) (raw)

Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, 2014

Abstract

Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) are commonly implanted to correct corneal astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery. Their use requires preoperative calculation of the axis of implantation and postoperative measurement to determine whether the IOL has been implanted with the proper orientation. Moreover, toric IOL alignment stability over time is important for the patient and for the longitudinal evaluation of toric IOLs. We present a simple, inexpensive, and precise method to measure the toric IOL axis using a camera-enabled cellular phone (iPhone 5S) and computer software (ImageJ).
