Intra-operative IOL alignment The exact alignment of a ZEISS toric IOL is crucial for a good post-operative outcome. In order to obtain a correct position, align the orientation marks of the IOL (flat curvature) with the steeper meridian of the cornea. The gross alignment should be done during the implantation of the toric IOL. 8
After the IOL implantation, the viscoelastic should be removed carefully and completely from both the anterior and the posterior side of the IOL to avoid rotation beyond the intended fi nal axis. Even a small amount of residual viscoelastic can cause the lens to rotate and shift leading to refractive errors. Rotate the lens after viscoelastic removal. The axis of alignment should precisely match the calculated target. For maximum precision you have three options for ZEISS toric IOL alignment. You can use either the screen transparency available to print directly from Z CALC or the reusable STACY transparency provided by Carl Zeiss Meditec. Z ALIGN, part of CALLISTO eye ® , is a user-friendly touchscreen system for video documentation and toric IOL alignment assistance. Z ALIGN is an innovative video-supported tool that provides greater convenience, reliability and speed for intra operative toric IOL alignment. 9
