The HOYA Toric Calculator (HTC) is a resource for the treating physician to aid in proper intraocular lens (IOL) cylinder power selection for cataract patients with corneal astigmatism. The HTC requires the User to input patient keratometry and biometric data and planned surgery information that is part of a pre-operative work up prior to toric IOL (TIOL) implantation. The HTC will suggest several HOYA TIOLs from which the surgeon may choose to treat a patient’s refractive cylinder resulting from corneal astigmatism. The HTC will also provide suggested intra-operative axial placement of the IOL that is to minimize postoperative astigmatism.

This 4 revision of the calculator provides an option that accounts for induced astigmatism from the posterior surface of the cornea. The calculator allows the User to apply the Abulafia - Koch Regression formula i. This regression, which is based on clinical results, uses standard keratometry measurements of the anterior surface of the cornea and estimates the added astigmatic effect of the posterior cornea to produce an overall net astigmatism of the cornea. The Abulafia - Koch Regression, applied to a clinical patient cohort, has been shown to improve predictability of TIOL refractive outcomes. The regression was developed using eyes considered to be inside normal range of eye biometry with no prior corneal refractive surgery. The results of the regression may not be applicable to individual eyes with corneal abnormality (e.g. Keratoconus, post Penetrating Keratoplasty, post refractive surgery). Only anterior corneal curvatures values are appropriate for use of the Abulafia Koch Regression.

Users of the calculator also have the option to enter keratometry values that represent the total corneal power. Many anterior segment imaging and biometry diagnostic tools, such as Scheimpflug and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imagers, can measure curvature values for both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea. These instruments produce keratometry values representative of the total cornea. These total corneal power values can be entered as keratometry input and the calculator will provide astigmatism results representative of the total cornea. If the User enters total corneal power values the Abulafia - Koch Regression should be turned OFF.

This 4 revision of the calculator also provides optional input of axial length (AL) that together with keratometry values, Spherical Equivalent IOL Power and the Holladay 1 formula ⁱⁱ will estimate position of the effective lens position (ELP) of the TIOL and adjust the TIOL cylinder power on corneal plane. ⁱⁱⁱ The use of the Holladay 1 formula, includes Wong-Koch AL adjustments for eyes with AL > 25.0 mm. ^iv

1. The recommended lenses and axis of placement are to be informative for the User and are not intended to replace the medical expertise or judgment of the surgeon or operator.
2. The accuracy of the TIOL options presented is dependent on precise measurements of the patient's eye and exact entry into the calculator. The User should verify proper data entry before final IOL selection.
3. The Abulafia - Koch Regression results may not be applicable to individual eyes with corneal abnormality (e.g. Keratoconus, post Penetrating Keratoplasty, post refractive surgery).
4. Only anterior corneal curvatures values are appropriate for use of the Abulafia Koch Regression.

The HTC revision 4 is openly accessible on the internet for all Users. The calculator can be found at www.hoyatoric.com. This calculator is compatible for use with internet web browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.

User must accept Terms and Conditions the first time using the website. The User's acceptance will be remembered by the browser’s cookies for subsequent visits within 30 days.

After accepting the Terms and Conditions, the data input page is shown. Using the tab key to advance to the next field, a complete set of data must be entered by the User as prompted by the calculator for the following entries:

Patient and Surgeon Information

The User must enter the following required information:

• Patient ID (any identification of patient)
• Surgeon (any identification of surgeon)

The User may also choose to enter the following optional information [Optional]:

• Clinic
• Date of Birth

• Patient
• Gender

All information entered will be shown in printed output.

Calculator Preferences

Several fields are shown that allow the User to customize the calculator for their preferred method of use. The User's preferences will be remembered in the browser’s cookies and will be applied the User's next session.

• Abulafia - Koch Regression

  This clinical data based regression accounts for the astigmatic effect of the posterior cornea and regression outcomes are based solely on anterior corneal curvature from Standard Keratometry input. The default setting for use of the regression is OFF. The User must move the slide to ON if use of the regression is appropriate for TIOL calculations of the patient’s eye. The final print out will indicate whether the regression was applied to the calculator results.

• Keratometer Index

  The calculator assumes a default index for standard keratometry input of 1.3375. The User may change that index if their keratometer uses a different index value. Any setting change will be recalled in the browser’s cookies.

• Cylinder Notation

  The calculator will default to displaying results using positive cylinder notation. The User may change the displayed results to negative cylinder notation if desired. Any setting change will be recalled in the browser’s cookies.

IOL selection

Model Number: Based on the User's Country the calculator will display in the pull-down menu only HOYA TIOLs available in that country. The User must select one of the available TIOL models. If only one TIOL is available, that model will display as the default selection. If multiple TIOLs are available the User’s selection of a preferred model will be recalled in the browser’s cookies.

Spherical Equivalent IOL Power (D): User must select from the pull-down tab the appropriate value of the spherical power of the lens which is determined by User’s method of choice and preferred formula for the particular eye.

Eye Selection

The User must select Right Eye-OD or Left Eye-OS for the toric calculations. This selection will display in all images and print out for the calculation results.

Eye View(Upper-right corner of the graphic image of the eye)

The user can select an orientation of the image of the eye for print using the pull down tab on the upper right of the eye image. The orientation of the eye image can be printed from the following three options:

• Exam Room View
•  
• Surgeon's View - Superior
•  
• Surgeon's View - Temporal

Keratometry Data Entry

All numeric entries that are decimal values may be entered using either a dot (.) or a comma (,) to serve as the decimal point. For example, 1.05 may be entered or as 1,05 and will be recognized by the calculator as the same value.

• Flat K: User must enter the patient’s anterior corneal curvature value on the flat axis as measured by standard keratometry in either mm radius or diopters. The entered value must be within a range of 6.14 to 11.25 mm or 30.00 to 55.00 diopters.
• Flat Axis: User must enter the angle of the anterior cornea flat axis as measured by keratometry in the range of 0° to 180°.
• Steep K: User must enter the patient’s anterior corneal curvature value on the steep axis as measured by standard keratometry in either mm radius or diopters. The entered value must be within a range of 6.14 to 11.25 mm or 30.00 to 55.00 diopters.
• Steep Axis: A value that is 90° from the flat axis will automatically be generated.
• Total corneal power astigmatism: User may enter flat K and steep K diopter values representing total corneal power astigmatism if their diagnostic equipment provides these values. If Net Corneal Astigmatism or Total Corneal Power is input, the Abulafia - Koch Regression should be turned off.

Surgical Information

• Surgically Induced Astigmatism: User must enter a value in a range from 0.00 to 2.00 diopters for the expected change in corneal astigmatism due to the surgical incision.
• Incision Location: User must enter the incision location from 0° to 359°.

Adjust ELP and Cylinder Power on Corneal Plane [Optional]

A measured value of Axial Length is used to estimate the Effective Lens Position (ELP) of the IOL and will adjust the TIOL cylinder power on the corneal plane. The value should be in a range from 18.0 to 30.0 mm. If Axial Length is not entered the calculator will use a fixed cylinder value power on the corneal plane that is based on average pseudophakic human eye geometry with the values shown in the Table below.

Calculation Result and IOL Selection

After the complete data set is entered the User should click the CALCULATE button. The graphic image of the eye will update to show the calculated values and display the steep and flat axes of the cornea with the incision and IOL placement. The calculator will also generate three toric lens options of different cylinder power for the User to consider. The astigmatic correction will be calculated for all toric lens powers and for a non toric lens. If the optional axial length data entry is not input, the calculation for fixed TIOL cylinder power on the corneal plane will be applied according to the following properties:

The calculator will display up to three lens options depending on the input information. The TIOL options will be listed from left to right as under correcting astigmatism to over correcting astigmatism. The lens selection shown as “Option 2” in the center will be the TIOL with cylinder power that will minimize the patient’s astigmatism without over-correcting the cylinder and flipping the astigmatic axis 90°. Option 1, on the left, is the TIOL that is the next available cylinder power lower than Option 2. Option 3 on the right is the TIOL that is the next available cylinder power higher than Option 2; this TIOL might indicate residual astigmatism close to zero but will result in flipping the axis of astigmatism 90°. These lens offerings are informative for the User and the selection of one of these lenses is solely based on the medical expertise of the surgical team to provide the best correction for their patient.

The HTC will also inform the User of the recommended axis for TIOL placement and will include an image of the eye with the incision location, steep and flat corneal axes, and the axis of placement for the TIOL.

The User must select one of the TIOL options lenses offered or may re-enter any of the values or data entry options and again click the CALCULATE button to recalculate. Once a TIOL option is selected that selection will be highlighted in yellow. If Option 3 is selected a warning will appear that says, “Your selection has the potential to rotate the patient’s axis of astigmatism 90°. Do you want to proceed?” The User must select yes to proceed or no to return to the data entry page. A “Clear Fields” button is available in the middle of the page to restart data entry.

Printing and Exporting Calculation Result

Following three options are available for printing and exporting the calculation results.
