Background: The purpose of this prospective, randomised study was to interocularly compare the visual performance after implantation of two different toric IOLs with different haptic design.

Methods: 59 subjects with corneal astigmatism greater than 1.25 diopter (D) were implanted with an AT TORBI 709M IOL (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) in one eye and with a Tecnis toric aspheric IOL (Abbot Medical Optics) in the other eye. Observation procedure was performed 12 months postoperatively. Main outcome measures included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction, IOL rotation, and IOL position.

Results: Mean UCDVA was 0.04 ± 0.14 logMAR for AT TORBI eyes and 0.06 ± 0.15 logMAR for Tecnis eyes ( = 0.3). The postoperative spherical equivalent values were significantly lower in the AT TORBI group. Mean toric IOL axis rotation was 3.0 ± 2.26 degrees for AT TORBI eyes and 3.27 ± 2.37 for Tecnis eyes ( = 0.5). The mean vertical IOL tilt and vertical decentration values measured with the Visante OCT were significantly larger in the AT TORBI group ( < 0.05).

Conclusions: Both the Tecnis and the AT TORBI toric IOLs successfully reduced ocular astigmatism. Emmetropia could be better achieved with the AT TORBI IOL, whereas the Tecnis showed better positional stability. This trial is registered with ICMJE NCT03371576.

Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, No. 83 Fenyang Road, Shanghai, 200031, China.

Purpose: To compare the precision of the arithmetic mean of surgically induced astigmatism (M-SIA) and the centroid of surgically induced astigmatism (C-SIA) in estimating SIA when predicting the power and axis of toric IOLs under different circumstances.

Methods: 120 eyes of 99 patients undergoing toric IOL replacement in a simple cataract surgery were included in the retrospective study. The predicted position of toric IOL was calculated by Z Calc online calculator and Barrett Toric Calculator with M-SIA (0.

Purpose: To explore the significance of changes in anterior chamber depth (ΔACD) and astigmatism between 4 and 8 weeks following uneventful phacoemulsification.

Patients And Methods: Anterior chamber depth (ACD, mm), autorefractometry and subjective refraction were monitored in pseudophakic eyes implanted with non-toric IOLs (group 1, SA60AT, n=36; group 2, SN60WF, n=34; group 3, ICBOO, n=16) and phakic control group (n=30, group 4a, for ACD and autorefractometry) over four weeks. Changes in subjective refractions were compared with repeatability in normal phakic eyes (n=30, group 4b).

Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation comprise a standard procedure for cataract treatment. However, minimal refractive error remains a determinant of postoperative results. Our study aimed to evaluate the refractive outcomes and the impact of the surgeon's experience and the IOL model on Kosovan and Hungarian patients after cataract surgery.

Purpose: Accurate alignment of Toric Intraocular Lens (T-IOLs) in cataract surgery is crucial for good visual outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of rotation, axial shift and their combined effects on the refractive error and image quality of a wide range of T-IOL powers (from +1.50 D to +6.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated visual outcomes and patient satisfaction up to 3 months after cataract surgery using hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
  • It included 28 patients and found excellent distance and intermediate visual acuity, with 98% of patients achieving good intermediate vision (20/25 or better).
  • The results demonstrated high levels of patient satisfaction (88%) and successful lens delivery by surgeons (89% success rate), indicating the effectiveness of the Clareon IOL and Monarch IV system for cataract surgery.
