SUMMARY
Over the last decade, a vast improvement on intraocularlens (IOL) options steered cataract surgerytowards a more sophisticated approach concerning thefinal refractive goal. On a particular note, the availabilityand adoption of toric IOLs, either in monofocal or multifocalplatforms. This allowed for a better final qualityof vision, but also addressed several complex steps, especiallyregarding proper diagnostic assessment duringsurgical planning. More than 50% of the patients whoundergo cataract surgery have corneal astigmatism =0.75 diopter (D), which is within the range of surgicallytreatable astigmatism and may significantly limit an optimalvisual outcome if left uncorrected.
