It was initially reported that the doctor likes the lens and has had success with other patients with the lens but was planning to explant the lens as the axis has been flipped on this male patients left eye, resulting in 1.5d of residual cylinder.He mentions his wound does not create a large astigmatism shift, but the pre-op pentacam may have shown some artifact astigmatism.He believes using the symfony toric calculator when picking the cylinder correction power would have been beneficial.He will replace this symfony toric with a tecnis toric lens.Further information confirmed the explant did occur due to the toric axis flipped.The physician picked the wrong cylinder correction power because he did not use the toric calculator.Additionally, the physician noted that the patient had a 20/20 refraction.The patient has recovered.No other information was provided.
