Toric IOL marking: manual method versus femtosecond laser

Cataract IOL Toric IOL Femtosecond cataract surgery Toric IOL alignment Trifocal IOL PanOptix Manual axis marking Femtosecond capsular marking Surgically induced astigmatism

In a retrospective 70-eye comparison, residual astigmatism was 0.13 D lower with femtosecond capsular marking, but treatment groups were not randomized.
