Comparative meta-analysis of toric intraocular lens alignment accuracy in cataract patients: Image-guided system versus manual marking

This meta-analysis studied toric intraocular lens (IOL) alignment accuracy using image-guided and manual marking methods by comparing the axis misalignment of toric IOLs, percentage of eyes with toric IOL axis misalignment within ±5 degrees, postoperative astigmatism, difference vector, and postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity. The methodological quality was assessed using the modified Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. Continuous variables were analyzed using weighted mean differences, an d dichotomous variables were compared using the odds ratio.
