1 Toric IOL An option or a must? ~ 15% cataract surgical patients >1.5 D Options: spectacles, CLs, Incision along steep axis, LRI, AK, toric IOL, Excimer Laser or a combination Walter J. Stark, MD Professor of Ophthalmology Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, Maryland Vision without astigmatism Vision with astigmatism 1.5D 90 Vision with astigmatism 3.0D 90 Quality of vision is deteriorated considerably by astigmatism No astigmatism 1.0 D astigmatism 2.0 D astigmatism Incision along Steep Axis Arcuate and transverse corneal incisions flatten the corneal meridian in which they are placed. 3.0mm limbal incision at 180 degrees flattens the cornea 0.5D for a temporal incision and 0.8D for a nasal incision. The more centrally an incision is placed, the more it flattens the corneal curvature Working Nomogram Kevin Miller-UCLA Surgical Outcomes 1 clock hour paired incisions per diopter Up to 3 D Incision Length (clock hours) Astigmatic Change (diopters) Incision depths of 550 to 650 µm were investigated ± ± ±

2 Advantages of LRIs over Toric Can use any IOL style: Premium Designs No axis rotation Minimum investment with no recurring costs Flexibility in charge passed onto patient Can be used in aborted planned Toric cases Advantages of Toric over LRIs No additional corneal surgery Avoids irregular astigmatism No new instrumentation Essentially no technique learning curve More predictable than LRI? Alcon IQ Aspheric Toric SN6AT Series: Aspheric anterior surface Toric posterior surface +6 to + 30 diopter range A constant ~ Capsular placement only Cylinder Powers, continued A wide range of cylinder powers means more candidates can benefit from AcrySof IQ Toric IOL.
