RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) calculations on three modern toric calculators. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study comprised 35 eyes of 35 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation (EnVista Toric). Residual postoperative refractive astigmatism was calculated on three calculators: EnVista Toric Calculator, ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula. Prediction error for each calculator was determined using vector analysis. RESULTS: The mean absolute deviation of predicted postoperative refractive astigmatism over actual astigmatism in diopters was distributed in the following way: 0.82±0.58, 0.70±0.67 and 0.72±0.76 using EnVista Toric Calculator, ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula, respectively. Centroid prediction error was 0.08 (EnVista Toric Calculator), 0.06 (ASSORT) and 0.10 (Kane formula). There was a significantly smaller deviation using ASSORT and the Kane formula compared to the online calculator (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Toric calculators ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula showed higher accuracy of toric IOL calculation than EnVista Toric Calculator.
