Purpose: To determine the refractive cylinder effect of rotating a toric intraocular lens (IOL) and identify the sources of refractive astigmatic surprise after toric IOL implantation.
Setting: Private practice, Melbourne, Australia.
Design: Experimental study.
Methods: Vergence formulas using a standard reduced eye model were used to bring all lens powers to the corneal plane. Double-angle vector diagrams were then used to (1) determine the refractive cylinder effect of rotating a toric IOL and (2) show how the prevailing astigmatism and the various planning and surgical steps involved in implanting a toric IOL contribute to the postoperative manifest refractive cylinder.
Results: An example calculation is given to illustrate the method.
Conclusions: Refractive cylinder surprises can occur after toric IOL implantation. Understanding the causes enables surgeons to address contributory factors and choose an appropriate surgical method for managing individual cases of refractive cylinder surprise.
Financial Disclosure: Dr. Alpins and Mr. Stamatelatos have a financial interest in the Assort software program used to support the planning and analysis of astigmatic correction. Dr. Ong is an employee of Assort.

Low-concentration atropine (0.01%) on quantitative contrast sensitivity function in Chinese children with myopia.
Int J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai 200031, China.
Aim: To investigate the effect of 0.01% low-concentration atropine (LA) on quantitative contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) in children with myopia.
Methods: This paired case-control study included 90 eyes of 58 children who were sex-, age-, and refraction-matched and equally divided into two groups: the 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of laser-assisted surgical correction of high hyperopic or mixed astigmatism using small incision intrastromal lenticule rotation (SMILERO) alone or combined with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 25 eyes with high astigmatism that underwent SMILERO surgery. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), manifest refraction, central corneal thickness, and corneal higher order aberrations were analyzed before surgery and after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.
Purpose: To investigate long-term corneal biomechanical changes in thin corneas after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).
Methods: Patients with indications for SMILE were enrolled in this study between November 2017 and March 2018. Patients were matched for age, spherical diopter, cylinder, spherical equivalent (SE), and lenticule thickness (LT), and then categorized into the thin cornea group (preoperative thinnest central corneal thickness [CCT] of 500 µm or less, 32 eyes) or normal cornea group (CCT of greater than 500 µm, 32 eyes).
Visual and Refractive Outcomes After Bilateral Implantation of a New Toric Intraocular Lens.
Clin Ophthalmol
December 2024
The Department of Ophthalmology, The Shammas Eye Medical Center, Lynwood, CA, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a new FDA approved toric aspheric hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.
Patients And Methods: This is a single surgeon, single-arm, on-label, non-randomized, prospective observational study. Thirty patients underwent bilateral cataract surgery (60 eyes) with placement of a Clareon™ Toric IOL in each eye.
Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.
Clin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Département de Recherche Clinique, Institut Ophtalmologique de l'Ouest (IOO) Jules Verne, Nantes, France.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
