Abstract
Technical advances in phacoemulsification have not only improved the safety and predictability of cataract surgery but also raised the expectations of both patients and surgeons. All cataract surgeons focus on meeting the individual refractive goal for each patient. Implantation of premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), such as toric IOLs, multifocal IOLs and multifocal toric IOLs, is the fastest-growing segment of refractive eye care. The use of premium IOLs has enhanced the need for precise details of keratometry and topography, for optimum refractive results. Many smartphone apps are contributing towards this goal.
