Efficacy of the Image-Guided Alignment System for a Four-Haptic Hydrophobic Monofocal Toric Intraocular Lens

This study included 49 eyes of 44 patients (women: 68%; mean age: 67.2±7.0 [range: 47–82] years). Twenty-nine eyes of 26 patients were treated with toric IOL implantation using the image-guided system and 20 eyes of 18 patients were treated using the manual-marking method. No statistical differences were observed regarding the baseline characteristics of the two groups. Three months after the surgery, the misalignment of the toric IOL was significantly lower in the image-guided group (2.18°±0.65°, range: 1.26°–3.95°) than in the manual; marking group (4.72°±0.74°, range: 3.44°–6.21°; P
