AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in IOL position (axial shift, tilt and decentration) in the capsular bag after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy and to create a user-friendly software that is optimized for the output of available imaging technology, then verify the relationship between the biometric parameters of the eye and the extent of changes in the IOL position. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 35 artephakic eyes that underwent laser capsulotomy. Before and at least one hour after capsulotomy, all patients underwent the following assessments: optical biometry (Lenstar LS900), OCT with anterior segment module (Optovue Avanti) and IOL photography in infrared mode using reference unit (Verion). The original software solution was designed for the graphical evaluation of the differences between centering, axial displacement and tilt of IOL. Changes in IOL position were evaluated as simple differences before and after the laser procedure and as differences in absolute values (abs). RESULTS: The following results show the average differences in IOL position: ACD=0.02±0.23 mm (abs=0.11±0.20 mm), IOL decentration in x-axis = -0.001±0.091 mm (abs=0.065±0.063 mm), IOL decentration in y-axis =0.012±0.119 mm (abs=0.048±0.53 mm), tilt in horizontal plane TILT-H=0.11±0.83° (abs=0.51±0.66°) and tilt in vertical plane TILT-V = -0.14±0.49° (abs=0.26±0.44°). All changes were insignificant (P>>0.05). In total, 74.29% of IOLs showed a hypermetropic shift. A moderate positive correlation was found between the absolute differences in horizontal tilt and keratometry (r=0.45). Relationship with other changes and parameters were weak. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the use of the original software solution developed by the authors showed that changes in IOL centering, axial displacement and tilt occur after Nd:YAG capsulotomy, but average differences were insignificant. In almost 3/4 cases, there was a hypermetropic axial displacement of the IOL.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop software for the universal objective evaluation of factors influencing intraocular correction of astigmatism, such as decentration, tilt, axial position and angular orientation the toric intraocular lens (IOL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Software was developed using the MS Visual Studio environment. The analysis was presented using images of 67 eyes with an implanted IOLs of the SN6ATx model series. Decentration and angular position of the lens were obtained from images of the anterior segment of the eye, using a Visucam unit. Tilt was measured on tomographic images from OCT Avanti (in meridian of highest tilt and perpendicular meridian) and preoperative biometry parameters of eye (axial length, anterior chamber depth - ACD, ocular lens thickness - LT, limbus diameter and mean keratometry value) including postoperative anterior chamber depth (pACD) were measured using Lenstar LS900. RESULTS: Applying the software methodology to the evaluation of individual toric IOL parameters, the following results were obtained: mean decentration 0.25 ± 0.17 mm which was observed in 61.19% of eyes, mean misalignment to the planned axis equal to 3.8 ± 3.6 degrees, mean highest inclination equal to 3.7 ± 1.2 degrees and mean difference of pACD and ACD was equal to 1.46 ± 0.31 mm. There was only a weak nonsignificant correlation between preoperative ACD versus decentration and tilt of IOL or a weak significant correlation between preoperative LT and both decentration and misalignment of IOL. CONCLUSION: The use of the presented methodology for determining the positional parameters of the toric IOL provided comparable results with the results of recent studies. Software design can be considered as a suitable alternative to previously published techniques, with the significant advantage of the possibility of using universal input images, their graphical editing and especially the possibility of comprehensive analysis of all parameters.
