3 Astigmatism Management/Toric IOLs Forty percent of respondents to the 2016 ASCRS Clinical Survey reported that 10 degrees or more of postoperative rotational error are acceptable with a toric IOL before visual quality and degra- dation of visual acuity are significantly affected. Overall, 46% of physicians use ink marking with the aid of manual axial instruments (i.e., a plumb bob) to align the preoperative axis with the intraoperative axis, but nearly 30% use anatomical landmarks or ink mark without the aid of additional instruments. Topography and automated biometry (IOLMaster/LENSTAR) are the most common preoperative measurements that drive axis decisions when implanting a toric IOL. There seems to be little consistency among the other measurement options. ASCRS 2016 Clinical Survey
