Purpose: To compare the effect of implanting the capsular tension ring (CTR) before or after a toric intraocular lens (IOL) on rotational stability in patients with cataract and astigmatism.
Methods: This is a randomized retrospective study. Patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with toric IOL implantation due to cataract and astigmatism between February 2018 and October 2019 were enrolled in the study. Group 1 consisted of 53 eyes of 53 patients in whom the CTR was placed into the capsular bag after the implantation of the toric IOL. On the other hand, group 2 consisted of 55 eyes of 55 patients in whom the CTR was placed into the capsular bag before implantation of the toric IOL. The two groups were compared in terms of preoperative and postoperative astigmatism, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and postoperative IOL rotation degree.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups related to age and sex (p > 0.05) or the mean preoperative spherical value, UCVA, BCVA, and corneal astigmatism (p > 0.05). Although the mean postoperative residual astigmatism of the first group (- 0.29 ± 0.26) was lower than that of the second (- 0.43 ± 0.31), the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.16). The mean degree of rotation was 0.75 ± 2.66° in group 1 and 2.90 ± 6.57° in group 2, which was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: The implantation of CTR after a toric IOL provides further rotational stability and more effective astigmatic correction.

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 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.

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).
Refractive Outcomes After Cataract Surgery-The Impact of Preoperative Visual Acuity, the Intraocular Lens Model, and the Surgeon's Experience: An Empirical Analysis of Hungarian and Kosovan Patients.

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.
