Purpose: To describe the use of toric trans-plugs IOL to correct aphakia with significant corneal astigmatism.
Methods: Case report and literature review.
Results: A 62-year-old man with an history of aphakia in his left eye after a traumatic cataract extraction and significant corneal astigmatism was referred to our clinic. Surgery plan was cataract remnants removal and secondary IOL implantation of toric sutureless trans-scleral plugs fixated IOL (FIL SSF, Soleko, Italy). The postoperative course was uneventful. At 12 months, the IOL was well-centered and the optic alignment remained stable with minimal total astigmatism. The e uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/25 Snellen while correct distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 20/20 with a manifest refraction of -0.25-50 40° D; the patient was satisfied by the visual outcome.
Conclusion: This novel toric trans-scleral plug fixated lens provides valuable outcomes also for astigmatic correction for a comprehensive correction of the aphakia in patients with poor zonular support and high expectations for postoperative visual quality.
