  • Publication number: 20130018276
    Abstract: Provided herein is a measurement tool for implantable non-spherical asymmetric optics comprising a viewable, rotatable angular caliper superimposable over an image of an eye. Also provided are methods for optimally placing non-spherical asymmetric optics in an eye of a patient and for correcting post-operative astigmatism in a patient having cataract surgery. The measurement tool is useful to plan the optimal correct surgical placement of a non-spherical asymmetric optic, e.g., a toric intraocular implant or a toric intraocular contact lens, in the eye. By superimposing the measurement tool over a corneal topographic image, an optimal positioning of the non-spherical asymmetric optic can be effected in an optical zone of interest. Correct placement or re-placement at least minimizes astigmatism in post-operative vision.
