Axis Assistant
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
AXIS ASSISTANT is a simple tool to make markings on the cornea to implant toric IOL’s. It uses the rotating slit of a slit lamp to match the desired axis while looking through the biomicroscope.
It is amazingly useful to check an IOL axis of implantation after surgery by using the same principle.
It is also has an arc feature to use on intracorneal segments, arcuate incisions, etc.
Instructions:
PREOP MODE:
Find the axis of IOL using your preferred method,
Set the desired axis using the upper slider,
Place the slit in the central position with a narrow width,
Place the iPhone in front of the slit lamp,
Align the slit with the axis on the iPhone,
Use the aligned axis to mark on the patient’s cornea using your method of choice (30G needle, marker, etc.).
POSTOP MODE:
Dilate the pupil,
Find the IOL marks and align the slit,
Match the slit on the AXIS ASSISTANT to the slit on the biomicroscope.
ARC MODE:
The same maneuvers described above for toric IOLs,
Use the lower slider to the desired arc.
