An Alcon Toric IOL Calculator is a tool used to determine the power and axis of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) that is to be implanted during cataract surgery. Toric IOLs are designed to correct astigmatism, which is a common refractive error that causes blurred vision.
The Alcon Toric IOL Calculator takes into account the patient’s corneal curvature, astigmatism, and desired postoperative refractive outcome to calculate the appropriate IOL power and axis. This information is then used to select the correct IOL for implantation.
