Smartphone-aided technique to quantify toric intraocular lens alignment

Toric intraocular lens (IOL) alignment along the desired axis is of paramount importance for accurate visual and refractive outcomes. Judicious preoperative planning and precise execution intraoperatively are the key factors that determine the IOL orientation postoperatively. After surgery, the position of the IOL with respect to the desired axis is usually confirmed on slitlamp examination; however, additional methods have been described. These methods include anterior segment optical coherence tomography, use of the editing function of Photoshop (Adobe), and use of a refractive power –corneal analyzer system.
