Abstract
The paper presents the original technique of transcleral fixation toric IOL with the assist of the Verion system in patients in which intracapsular implantation cannot be performed. This technique enables to predict the location of the fixation and the lens setting in the correct axis for astigmatism.
In the paper we defined the term of angle of lens fixation, the means of its measurement as well as modification of Verion system setting. It enabled us to designate target location of lens fixation. The technique improved the refraction of the patient, by which the implant could not be done by classical method.
