Standardization for reporting medical outcomes facilitates clinical study comparisons and has a fundamental role on reproducibility [
1,
2]. In refractive surgery (RS), the first set of standards for outcomes reporting was originally proposed by Waring in 1992 [
3] and later implemented as a set of six standard figures summarizing the accuracy, efficacy, safety, and stability of a surgical procedure [
4‐
10]. It is now required to include these graphs for RS manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Refractive Surgery (JRS) [
6], the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (JCRS) [
7] and Cornea [
8]. Other journals, such as Ophthalmology, also recommend the use of these standard graphs in their author guidelines [
10]. Due to these specifications, the reporting of outcomes of particular surgical techniques, studies, case reports or case series are standardized, and results are easily comparable between and within RS studies [
1].
The set of six figures was recently expanded to nine graphs in order to include additional information regarding astigmatism outcomes [
1], and a similar set of standards was recently added to cover lens-based refractive surgery [
2]. While these newer figures cover the main outcome measures for refractive surgery, in studies where astigmatism correction is a contributing feature, supplementary vectorial astigmatism analyses should be conducted [
1,
2]. For astigmatism vector analyses, JRS [
1], and JCRS [
11] recommend using the Alpins Method [
10,
12‐
15] reported as single-angle polar plots [
1,
11]. The Alpins vector analysis method consists of a set of four graphs, and each answers specific questions related to astigmatism correction [
1]. These four graphs allow a more detailed understanding of astigmatism outcomes pre- to post-surgery, and can better identify precision in surgical results [
10,
12‐
15]. The Alpins Method lends itself to any ocular procedure where astigmatism outcomes need to be thoroughly assessed [
10], such as PRK, LASIK, LASEK, SMILE, incisional keratotomy, collagen cross-linking, intracorneal ring segments, as well as lens-based procedures such as Phakic IOL, cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange with multifocal IOL and/or Toric IOL, as well as the various modified surgical techniques or procedures to treat various RS complications that exist today [
16‐
25].
The six and nine standard graph formats described above can be created by downloading free macro-enabled Microsoft Excel spreadsheets [
1,
2], as well as with paid web-based and desktop software specially designed for refractive surgery outcomes analysis. In contrast, an automated specialized freeware for the production of the four standard vector analysis graphs remains unavailable, thus limiting their widespread use. In this context, we present AstigMATIC, a free standalone executable application that produces the four standardized astigmatism vector graphs as per the latest standards of refractive surgery journals. AstigMATIC should help clinicians and researchers rapidly understand clinical outcomes using the Alpins Method and will provide them with vector graphs that respect current journals standards for research publications and presentations.
