Abstract
A toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye has the potential to correct high or excessive ametropia and astigmatism with high predictability of the postoperative refraction and preservation of phakic accommodation. The calculation of spherical phakic lenses has been described previously, but a formalism for estimating the power of toric phakic lenses has not yet been published. The purpose of this study is to describe a mathematical strategy for calculating toric phakic IOLs.
