VIDEO: Combine technologies to address extreme astigmatism

NEW YORK — In this Healio Video Perspective from OSN New York, Karolinne M. Rocha, MD, PhD, discusses the management of extreme astigmatism.

Rocha said the key to the best results is combining technologies such as toric IOLs, toric ICLs (STAAR Surgical) and femtosecond limbal relaxing incisions.

“For irregular astigmatism, you can consider small-aperture optics,” Rocha said. “Of course, tell the patient that they may still need hard contact lenses for vision rehab after surgery.”
