Purpose: To determine the 12-month incidence of reoperation to realign 2 commercially available types of implanted monofocal toric acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Setting: American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS (Intelligent Research in Sight) Registry.

Design: Registry retrospective study.

Methods: Eyes that underwent cataract extraction and were implanted with a TECNIS or AcrySof monofocal toric IOL in 2016 and 2017 were identified. The rate of reoperation for IOL realignment (Current Procedural Terminology code 66825) within 365 days of implantation was determined for each IOL group. Risk factors for repositioning were evaluated using logistic regression modeling.

Results: A total of 6482 eyes were implanted with a monofocal toric IOL, including 2013 (31.06%) with a TECNIS and 4469 (68.94%) with an AcrySof IOL. During the first postoperative year, 87 (1.3%) eyes underwent surgical IOL repositioning. The incidence of repositioning was significantly higher (P < .0001) for TECNIS-implanted (3.1%, 62/2013) than for AcrySof-implanted (0.6%, 25/4469) eyes (odds ratio [OR] 5.6; 95% CI, 3.5-8.9). Younger age (OR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.67-0.86 per 5-year increase) was associated with a higher risk for IOL repositioning.

Conclusions: Real-world analysis of U.S. patients in the IRIS Registry revealed that the rate of surgical IOL repositioning was 5 times higher in eyes implanted with TECNIS than with AcrySof monofocal toric IOLs for astigmatic correction at the time of cataract surgery. These findings should be considered when selecting a toric IOL for correction of astigmatism in cataract patients, particularly in younger patients with a higher risk for misalignment requiring repositioning.

Objective: Toric intraocular lens implantation has been used to correct corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. The study aimed to compare the visual outcomes between manual vs markerless toric intraocular lens implantation in astigmatic correction.

Methods: The medical records of patients at American Eye Center who underwent phacoemulsification by multiple surgeons with insertion of monofocal or multifocal toric lenses via manual marking and markerless method from 2010-2019 were reviewed.

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.

Purpose: To study change in the contact of intraocular lens (IOL) with the posterior capsule with respect to the vertical versus horizontal orientation of the haptic-optic junction of the IOL using intraoperative spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: Fifty eyes of 50 patients with senile immature cataract underwent topical phacoemulsification procedure with implantation of a monofocal IOL by a single experienced surgeon. The Rescan 700 SD-OCT system was used for intraoperative imaging.

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: This study aimed to evaluate one-year clinical outcomes in cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism implanted with a biconvex aspheric toric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a double C-loop haptic-design.

Methods: One hundred and eighteen patients (236 eyes) with corneal astigmatism (≥0.75D) were implanted bilaterally with the PODEYE toric IOL and assessed up to 1-year after surgery.
