LRIs: Precision Where It Counts

Integrating laser limbal relaxing incisions helps improve astigmatism outcomes at the time of cataract surgery.

1

Limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) are used to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery, even with the availability of multifocal toric lenses.
2

Approximately 40% to 50% of patients undergoing cataract surgery have 1.00 D or more of corneal astigmatism, impacting visual outcomes.
3

Manual LRIs have a strong safety profile but are prone to errors due to reliance on manual marking and calculations.
4

Laser-assisted LRIs offer greater precision by automating incision parameters and integrating biometric data into treatment planning.
5

Beveled incisions created by laser technology may enhance corneal stability and reduce the risk of complications compared to perpendicular cuts.
