This is a full case of cataract surgery (modified Divide and Conquer) technique with implantation of a toric intraocular lens in realtime. In this instance we use an Alcon toric IOL, but toric lens are also available from Bausch and Lomb, Starr, and AMO. Also shown is the marking of the astigmatism with a Mendez toric marker.

The density of the cataract, made us deviate from my standard technique of pre-chopping to a modified divide and conquer technique of nucleus disassembly. Ophthalmologists have many techniques for disassembling cataracts in the eye, each has its benefits.
