Misalignment of intraocular lenses can cause severe loss of visual quality. Different types of misalignments are known. Tilt, one type of intraocular lens misalignment is thought to play a negative role for the optical performance in eyes with intraocular designs, especially, if they have aspheric, toric, or multifocal optics. Various methods to measure intraocular lens misalignments have been described. The most recently developed method for tilt quantification is the use of optical coherence tomography. This method has several advantages compared to the previous methods: optical coherence tomography based devices are available in most clinics, the resolution of modern optical coherence tomography devices is high, and the measurements are reproducible.
