Long-term outcomes of cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens implantation by the type of preoperative astigmatism.

Surgical outcomes of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for 8 years after surgery were analyzed. Data were retrospectively collected in 176 eyes of 176 patients before and 1 month, 1, 3, 5, and 8 years after phacoemulsification and implantation of a toric IOL. Preoperative corneal and postoperative manifest astigmatism was analyzed by converting to power vector notations; horizontal/vertical (J) and oblique (J) astigmatism components.

Effect of small-incision sutureless cataract surgery on the natural course of astigmatism over 10 to 20 years.

Purpose: To retrospectively assess astigmatic changes over 10 years and 20 years after small-incision cataract surgery.

Setting: 5 ophthalmic surgical sites in Japan.

Design: Retrospective case series.
