Specialised axis reference software may prove to be an effective and efficient means of accurately aligning toric intraocular lenses and has some advantages compared to traditional ink marking methods, according to Gilles Lesieur MD speaking at the French Implant and Refractive Surgery Association (SAFIR) annual meeting in Paris.
“While our prospective study showed that precision is not increased for an experienced surgeon who is used to dealing with the limitations of traditional toric lens markings, there are other advantages using software for the toric lens alignment,” said Dr Lesieur.
“The ease and speed of using an automated image marker improves considerably the flow of patients through the operating room, saving an average of three minutes per patient. There is also a benefit for the patient in terms of less manipulation of the eye,” he added.
Dr Lesieur’s study used the Goniotrans 1.1 software application, which is available free for download and runs on Microsoft Windows PC and iOS Devices.
