Pre-operative marking<br />

An appropriate marking of the eye for the implantation of<br />

<strong>ZEISS</strong> toric <strong>IOLs</strong> is important for the success of the surgery. The<br />

pre-operative reference marking is applied before anaesthesia<br />

while the patient is sitting upright <strong>with</strong> both eyes open.<br />

The instruments necessary for marking are:<br />

• A corneal marker<br />

• A slit lamp <strong>with</strong> a grading ring<br />

• Reference points of the eye<br />

Optimal incision size<br />

Ideally, the incision size for a <strong>ZEISS</strong> toric IOL implantation is less<br />

than 2.0 mm (C-MICS, B-MICS, laser phaco), to avoid inducing<br />

additional astigmatism and to optimize the predictability of the<br />

outcome.<br />
