Purpose: To determine the percentage of contribution of the magnitude of posterior corneal astigmatism to total corneal astigmatism using Scheimpflug imaging.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 356 eyes of 356 patients, where the total corneal astigmatism was calculated by addition of anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism using vector analysis and then the percentage of posterior to total corneal astigmatism was calculated.
Results: The percentage of contribution of posterior to total corneal astigmatism was about 30% in patients with With The Rule astigmatism and about 8% in patients with Against The Rule astigmatism.
Conclusion: Posterior corneal astigmatism should not be neglected during calculation of total corneal astigmatism as neglecting posterior corneal astigmatism can result in errors during calculation and correction of astigmatism.

Comparative evaluation of several toric intraocular lens calculators for predicting postoperative refractive astigmatism in cataract surgery: a real-world study.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University Third Hospital, 49 North Garden Rd., Haidian District, Beijing, China.
Background: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the predictive accuracy of six widely used toric intraocular lens (IOL) calculators in eyes undergoing cataract surgery with toric IOL implantation.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 53 eyes of 53 patients that underwent cataract extraction with toric IOL implantation using Zeiss 709 M. Six toric IOL calculators were evaluated: Barrett toric calculator (with predicted PCA, measured PCA, and TK), Kane formula (predicted PCA), and EVO 2.
Interocular astigmatic symmetry: A systematic review.
Cont Lens Anterior Eye
January 2025
Department of Optics and Optometry and Vision Sciences, University of Valencia, 46100 Burjassot, Spain.
Purpose: The objective of this investigation was to consolidate the extant data pertaining to interocular astigmatic symmetry, with a view to discerning any patterns that may emerge from the research.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the PICO framework. The search, conducted through September 2024, included three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) and the reference list of the selected articles, which were identified from inception.
Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction: Early Postoperative Day 1 Outcomes in 1350 Consecutive Procedures.
Cornea
January 2025
SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions, Kleinostheim, Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative visual outcomes on postoperative day 1 (POD1) after lenticule extraction in myopia astigmatism in a large cohort of over 1350 consecutive treatments.
Methods: A retrospective review chart identified 1357 eyes consecutively treated with SCHWIND ATOS using lenticule extraction for myopic astigmatism who had at least 6 months of follow-up completed and for which POD1 was completely recorded. The standard visual and refractive outcomes, and astigmatism outcomes, were analyzed on POD1.
Manual versus Markerless (Image-guided System) Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation Outcomes for Astigmatic Correction in Cataract Surgeries.
Acta Med Philipp
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila, Manila, Philippines.
Objective: Toric intraocular lens implantation has been used to correct corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. The study aimed to compare the visual outcomes between manual vs markerless toric intraocular lens implantation in astigmatic correction.
Methods: The medical records of patients at American Eye Center who underwent phacoemulsification by multiple surgeons with insertion of monofocal or multifocal toric lenses via manual marking and markerless method from 2010-2019 were reviewed.
Comparing Rotational Stability of Clareon and Eyhance Toric IOLs in a Real-World Setting.
Clin Ophthalmol
January 2025
Adelaide Eye and Laser Centre, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Background: The Eyhance Toric intraocular lens (IOL) builds upon the Tecnis Toric platform, initially associated with considerable post-operative rotational instability. Version 2, the Eyhance Toric IOL has been modified to enhance rotational stability. This study evaluates the post-operative rotational stability of the Eyhance Toric IOL compared to the Clareon Toric IOL, recognized for its stable performance.
