Age-Related Variations in Anterior, Posterior, and Total Corneal Astigmatism
Clinicians should account for age-related shifts in KA, PCA, and TCA when selecting toric IOLs, particularly in patients younger than 55 years. Preoperative counseling should address potential long-term shifts toward ATR orientation, which may influence visual outcomes in patients receiving toric IOLs aligned along other axes. Incorporating these changes into toric IOL formulae may improve patient outcomes.
