Operative microscope slit beam to ascertain the alignment of toric intraocular lens intraoperatively

Today, cataract surgery goes beyond just removing the cataractous lens and placing an intraocular lens (IOL). With evolving technology and techniques, refractive cataract surgery is becoming increasingly common. One such surgical intervention is phacoemulsification followed by toric IOL implantation.1 Toric IOLs have the ability to neutralize corneal astigmatism to a greater extent provided they are placed in the desired position. However, keeping the IOL in the intended axis can be challenging.
