Digital marking versus manual marking technique for toric intraocular lens alignment: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Manual and digital-assisted marking are the two main marking methods used for toric intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract surgery. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the consistency in accuracy for these two methods. This meta-analysis aimed to compare and evaluate the accuracy of digital and manual marking techniques for toric IOL alignment during cataract surgery.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies that compared the effectiveness of these two techniques in positioning toric IOLs. The primary outcome measures included postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), mean deviation from target-induced astigmatism, and postop
