Notes:

e have devised a new method to mark the corneal axis

of Toric IOL that is inexpensive and precise. Methods:

In the office, a drop of ophthaine is placed on the eye, and

the patient is asked to place his/her chin on the chin-rest of

the Yag laser. The “Sunalp Yag laser lens is placed on the para

limbal cornea with 90º lens corresponding to the 90º of the

patient cornea. The Yag laser is focused at the mid cornea

at 270º and a single laser pulse of 10 mjoules is aimed at

270º with 1-3 pulses in line, 0.5 mm apart. The laser pulse

marks the cornea with a small disruption and blanching of

the stroma that remains visible for 48 hours or longer. The

Sunalp Yag laser lens is a 1 cm, 12 diopter single-use, acrylic

lens, which will be available in the near furure.

Results:

Presurgical corneal marking using the Sunalp

Yag laser lens, a lens specially designed for the Yag laser,

allows for accurate alignment of toric IOL during surgical

implantation. The markings remain clearly visible throughout

the procedure and for an additional 48 hours, giving ample

time for pre-op marking.

Conclusion:

To avoid the pitfalls of preoperative unreliable

marking with an ink pen, we have devised a method to mark

the cornea using the Yag Laser. Using the Sunalp Yag laser

lens, precise, durable makring can be made without the use

of expensive equipment.
