To determine clinically significant difference in results obtained from cataract surgery using IA. One eye will receive aphakic measurements only and the fellow eye will receive aphakic and then pseudophakic measurements when implanting a toric IOL.
To determine if there is a clinically significant difference in the results obtained for the toric IOL implantation when using IA to measure the aphakic eye only and when using IA to measure the aphakic eye and then the pseudophakic eye, with toric IOL implantation.

standard aphakic measurements will be taken and then pseudophakic measurements will be taken after toric iol implantation. The data produced will aid the surgeon in proper placement of toric iol orientation

Clinically significant difference in results obtained for tori iol implantation when using IA
Difference in magnitude of residual refractive astigmatism between groups Percentage of eyes with 0.50D or less of postoperative residual refractive astigmatism at 1 month post-op in each sub-group * Percentage of eyes within 0.50D of intended spherical equivalent * Sub-group analysis: * Vector analysis of the effects of any toric IOL realignment suggested by pseudophakic IA (i.e. was it likely to improve or worsen residual refractive astigmatism and/or UCVA)
Time frame: 30 days
