Teaching the use of a toric Verisyse phakic intraocular lens

Worldwide most of the refractive procedures are performed on the cornea either as lamellar (LASIK) or surface (PRK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK) procedures, but in high refractive errors the correction with phakic IOLs is more advantageous. If the combination of myopia or hyperopia with high amounts of astigmatism should be corrected as refractive error, toric phakic IOLs may be used. The iris-fixated IOLs have shown good rotational stability and therefore are privileged to correct astigmatic errors. In this video, the indication, the technique and the peri-operative handling are demonstrated. Very important steps are the…
