Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) in toric IOL implantation

The effectiveness of the correction of astigmatism depends on the accuracy of the IOL position in the lens capsule. Removal of viscoelastic from the bag and the right IOL centration have a direct impact on the effectiveness of this IOL. Intraoperative use of OCT in real time (RESCAN 700 Zeiss) allows the evaluation of IOL in the bag position. iOCT plays role in the estimation of the distance from the posterior capsule of the lens. The use of iOCT allows to achieve an improved surgical results in patients with cataract and coexisting astigmatism.
