Avakian and Osher have used the Surgery Guidance System (Sensomotoric Instruments GmbH) for preoperative registration and intraoperative tracking of the anterior segment to aid proper alignment of the toric intraocular lens. Although authors have described a method of clearing the subconjunctival anesthetic solution, balanced salt solution, or hemorrhage to restore limbal anatomy, the guidance system is not available in most developing nations. Thus, we describe a simple, inexpensive, and highly reproducible technique for corneal astigmatic marking.
