Complete eye examination was significant for advanced cataract OU and corneal astigmatism OU. Note that corneal cylinder was less than refractive cylinder, indicating the presence of lenticular cylinder which will be gone after cataract extraction.

Patient was counseled on option of toric IOLs. Desired post-op refractive target was emmetropia OU. Click here to see AcrySof Toric IOL Calculator printouts. Patient was counseled on the need for intermediate/near glasses at a minimum after surgery.
