AstigMATIC: An Automated Vector Analysis Software 

AstigMATIC is a free standalone application for automated standardized astigmatism vector analyses in corneal and intraocular refractive surgeries. AstigMATIC allows the simultaneous display and analysis of astigmatism magnitude and axis.

The software produces the four following graphs according to current journal standards: 1-Target-Induced Astigmatism Vector, 2-Surgically-Induced Astigmatism Vector, 3-Difference Vector and 4-Correction Index. Vector means with standard deviations are automatically calculated and displayed on the corresponding single-angle vector plots (0 to 180°). The standard graphs can be easily exported as high-resolution TIFF images for figures to use in production and presentations.

The software can be downloaded at:
https://www.lasikmd.com/media/astigmatic/index.php.

The software was thoroughly tested, peer-reviewed and published in BMC Ophthalmology, the paper about the software is available at: https://bmcophthalmol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12886-018-0920-1
