praise of wavefront aberrometry. She says the device, which measures corneal curvature and calculates intraocular lens power intraop- eratively, helps correct astigmatism "perfect- ly." For patients who have a cataract with a sec- ondary diagnosis of astigmatism, her surgeons use the aberrometer twice — before implanti- ng the toric IOL when the patient is aphakic and after implant- ing the toric IOL to check the accuracy of the alignment of the toric IOL. Each real-time reading takes only 3 to 5 seconds, she says, and offers the dual benefit of significantly increasing the accuracy of the toric IOL power, and significantly decreasing the inci- dence of unintended residual post-operative astigmatism and refractive surprise. • Digital marking system. Dr. McCabe also demonstrated a new digital marking system (Alcon's Verion 2.6 software) that makes pre- operative planning more precise. The system registers landmarks from a digital photo of the patient's eye and captures such data as amount of astigmatism, axial length, lens choice and toric correction. A second part of the system lets you account for cyclorotation, which causes a difference in eye orientation when the patient is sitting up (when you obtain measurements) versus when the 1 1 2 O U T P A T I E N T S U R G E R Y M A G A Z I N E O N L I N E | M A Y 2 0 1 5 Call AOI for Information 800.576.1266 or 949.580.1266 Designed for rinsing Phaco and I/A hand pieces, cannulas, vit cutters and tubing.
