This online tool aids ophthalmologists in determining the appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) power for patients undergoing cataract surgery who also have astigmatism. It uses patient-specific data, including keratometry readings and biometric measurements, to calculate the optimal IOL power and alignment for correcting both the cataract and the astigmatism. This personalized approach helps achieve clearer vision after surgery.
Precise IOL selection is critical for successful outcomes in cataract surgery, particularly when addressing astigmatism. Historically, correcting astigmatism during cataract procedures was more challenging. Advancements in IOL technology, coupled with sophisticated calculation tools, have significantly improved outcomes, enabling surgeons to deliver predictable and personalized vision correction. This leads to reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses post-operatively, enhancing patient quality of life.
