In this conversation, Dr. Sam Barry and Dr. Sud Koushik discuss astigmatism and its treatment options. They explain that astigmatism occurs when light entering the eye is not focused at one point, and it can be caused by irregularities in the cornea or lens. They discuss how astigmatism is measured using glasses or contact lens prescriptions, and they emphasize that astigmatism can be treated with surgery, glasses, or contact lenses. They also touch on the different types of contact lenses and surgical procedures available to correct astigmatism. Dr. Koushik and Dr. Barry also discuss the importance of properly orienting the lens during surgery to ensure the correct axis alignment. They touch on the topic of IOL and ICL rotation and the options for addressing it, such as re-rotation or different sizing. They also share two interesting cases, one involving a toric ICL and another involving a toric IOL reposition after a YAG procedure.
