Abstract

Purpose of review: To showcase the majority of online intraocular lens (IOL) calculation tools and highlight some of their characteristics.

Recent findings: Online tools are available for preoperative and postoperative IOL-related calculations, including IOL power and toricity selection for standard patients, patients who underwent prior refractive surgery, keratoconus, limbal relaxing incisions for astigmatism management, realignment of a misplaced or rotated toric IOL, surgical induced astigmatism (SIA), formulae comparison, and other tools.

Summary: As there are new online developments and technology is advancing rapidly, we hope that this review will assist ophthalmologists in becoming acquainted with a large variety of online tools.
