KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS, A wettable contact lens surface is critical for maintaining a smooth and stable tear film. PRECISION1™ (verofilcon A) contact lenses have a highly breathable silicone hydrogel core with 51% water content surrounded by a permanent moisture layer of hydrogel polymers with >80% water content. SMARTSURFACE ® Technology is a micro-thin (2-3 microns) layer of moisture, which is permanently…

KEY TAKE-AWAYS, Posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) is important in the selection of the toric IOL power Not considering PCA results in an overcorrection in eyes with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism and an undercorrection in eyes with against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism A majority of comparative studies using the Barrett toric IOL calculator are suggesting that the use of predicted and measured PCA does not impact…
