Astigmatic Correction with Toric Intraocular Lens During Cataract Surgery

Abstract

The expectations of post-removal cataract surgery patients are extremely high, and best vision acuity is expected. The best refractive results are influenced by two factors – cataract surgical removal and the corneal astigmatism correction. Currently, the two most often applied corneal astigmatism removal methods are laser surgery and toric intraocular lens implantation. Our study aimed to measure the astigmatic reduction, rotational Stability and the aberrometric changes of the Acrysof Toric IQ IOL in a series of cataract surgery patients with corneal astigmatism ˃ 1.00 D. We found that No significant decrease in the UDVA and the refractive cylinder was observed between 1 week and 3 months postoperatively, no significant correlation was found between the level of rotation and magnitude of refractive cylinder at 3 months postoperatively, no significant decrease in the total, coma and spherical aberration was observed between 1 week and 3 months postoperatively, but there was a significant decrease in the high and trefoil aberrations was observed between 1 week and 3 months postoperatively.
