iTRACE UNIVERSITY
THE ONLINE LEARNING PROGRAM FROM TRACEY TECHNOLOGIES
Greetings!

In previous iTrace U sessions, Dr. Osher and Ray described how iTrace Ks are much more accurate for toric planning. In today's session , Dr. Cathleen McCabe presents a case where the axis of placement differed among her instruments and how she was able to achieve a successful outcome with this very high toric (T9) case, plus LRI’s. 
 
THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN THIS TEACHING:
  • What do you do to limit the variables in toric IOLs? 
  • Is toric IOL surgery as predictable as you and your patients expect and if not what can you do to improve the outcomes?
  • When attempting multiple procedures for high astigmats, what is your tolerance for off-axis IOL’s? 

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHILE YOU ARE WATCHING:
  • What is your minimum corneal astigmatism before you suggest a toric IOL?
  • What is your maximum?
  • When your different equipment doesn’t all match on axis, what do you trust?  
 
THINGS TO CONSIDER STUDYING IN YOUR PRACTICE:
  • Your average post-op residual astigmatism
  • By using the toric check post-op, which pre-op K reading gave the closest AXIS to what was ultimately needed by each patient. In other words, what is the average AXIS error from each instrument you use?
