Swiss Advanced Vision (SAV-IOL) announced the introduction of new features to its toric calculator, aimed at revolutionizing the way ophthalmologists approach astigmatism correction surgeries. The newly released web-based configurator marks a significant advancement in surgical planning, offering unparalleled precision in minimizing residual astigmatism post-operation.
For the first time, ophthalmologists have access to an online tool that allows for the optimization of incision locations based on the optical parameters of individual patients. This feature is designed to cater to all types of lenses, ensuring that surgeons can tailor their procedures more effectively to meet the unique needs of each patient. The announcement was made through a company news release, highlighting SAV-IOL's commitment to enhancing the calculation experience for eye care professionals.
The SAV-IOL Toric Calculator is a platform that assists in the selection of toric intraocular lenses, which are essential in correcting astigmatism. The latest update introduces the 'Incision Location Optimization' tool, which advises on the most effective incision angle to achieve the lowest possible residual astigmatism. This recommendation is based on a comprehensive analysis of biometry, keratometry, cylinder power, and Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) amplitude. Furthermore, the inclusion of Posterior Corneal Astigmatism (PCA) into the calculations represents a major leap forward in increasing the accuracy and predictability of postoperative outcomes.
This enhanced service is now available at no cost on the company's website, sav-iol.com, making it easily accessible to ophthalmologists worldwide. By integrating these innovative features into its toric calculator, SAV-IOL not only simplifies the surgical planning process but also significantly improves the quality of care for patients undergoing astigmatism correction surgeries.
