ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect of toric implantable collamer lens(TICL)V4c for correcting moderate to high myopia with high astigmatism using vector analysis and quality of life impact of refractive correction(QIRC).METHODS: Retrospective case series. A total of 55 patients(90 eyes)with moderate to high myopia and high astigmatism who received TICL V4c implantation in the refraction surgery center of ophthalmology department in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. Followed-up for 1 a, the uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and diopters were observed. Alpins vector analysis was used to evaluate the effect of astigmatism correction, and QIRC scale was used to evaluate patients' quality of life.RESULTS: At 1 a postoperatively, the UDVA of 98% eyes was the same or better than pre-operative BCVA, the safety index was 1.11±0.14, and the efficacy index was 1.11±0.15. The angle of error of 97% of the astigmatic eyes was within ±15°. The results of vector analysis showed that correction index was 0.83±0.13, angle of error was 1.00±4.49°, and index of success was 0.21±0.15. The total higher order aberrations under a pupil diameter of 6 mm was significantly increased compared with preoperatively(P<0.05), the QIRC score was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001), and the increase of total QIRC scores was positively correlated with preoperative spherical equivalent(rs=0.215, P<0.05), indicating that the higher degree of myopia before surgery the patients, the better the quality of life after TICL implantation.CONCLUSION: TICL V4c implantation for the correction of moderate to high myopia with high astigmatism is safe and effective, and the patients' quality of life significantly improved after surgery.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To evaluate the convenience and accuracy of a novel smartphone-assisted “any-point two-step method” for finding the target axial position in cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: Prospective observational study. A total of 62 cases(62 eyes)of patients with age-related cataracts who underwent cataract phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation in our hospital from October 2021 to April 2022 were selected. They were randomly divided into two groups: 31 cases(31 eyes)in the control group were applied with the “traditional two-step method” using slit lamp to mark the target axial position of the IOL, and 31 cases(31 eyes)in the experimental group were applied with the smartphone-assisted “two-step method” to mark the target axial position of the IOL. The Callisto eye navigation system was used as a standard reference, and the deviation of the reference marking point(deviation-1), the deviation of the target axial marking point(deviation-total), and the deviation of the angle from the reference marking point to the target axial marking point(deviation-2)were calculated and recorded as the preoperative axial marking time.RESULTS:Both deviation-1 and deviation-total values were lower in the experimental group than those in the control group(1.06°±1.39° vs 2.48°±2.23°, 1.77°±1.54° vs 2.81°±1.58°, all P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in the deviation-2 values between the two groups(1.35°±1.40° vs 1.48°±1.79°, P>0.05). The preoperative axial marking took shorter time in the experimental group than in the control group(1.77±1.70 min vs 2.88±3.20 min, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The smartphone-assisted “any-point two-step method” for finding the target axial position in cataract phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation is simple, time-saving, and accurate compared with the “traditional two-step method”.

ABSTRACT

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.@*Results@#A total of 70 patients were included in the study. Results showed no significant difference in the following characteristics between manual and markerless method at one month and two months post-cataract surgery: uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near vision acuity (UNVA), corrected near vision acuity (CNVA), refraction spherical equivalent. The UDVA, CDVA, UNVA, CNVA and astigmatism had significantly lower median/mean-rank at one and two months postoperatively compared to preoperative values.@*Conclusion@#In conclusion, our findings indicated that both manual-based and markerless systems effectively facilitated accurate placement of the toric IOL on the desired axis. Notably, there was no significant difference observed between the two methods. Both systems are straightforward to execute. In low-resource settings like the Philippines, the manual marking method can be employed when markerless guidance equipment is unavailable.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To compare the clinical efficacy, vault, and rotational stability of horizontal, oblique, and vertical implantation of Toric implantable collamer lens(TICL).METHODS: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 92 cases(120 eyes)who underwent TICL implantation from July 2018 to March 2022 and had regular follow-up for at least 1 a postoperatively(1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, 6 mo, and 1 a)at Wuhan Bright Eye Hospital were collected. The patients were divided into three groups, with 34 cases(45 eyes)in horizontal implantation group, 25 cases(29 eyes)in oblique implantation group(29 cases), and 33 cases(46 eyes)in vertical implantation group. Uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), diopters, vault, and rotation angle(deviation of the actual axis of TICL from the expected axis).RESULTS: All surgeries were uneventful, and there were no complications such as infection, secondary glaucoma, or cataract opacity. Safety and efficacy of the surgery: the CDVA of the three groups of patients was better than or equal to the preoperative CDVA at 1 a postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant differences in postoperative UDVA and CDVA of the three groups(P>0.05). The safety index at 1a postoperatively was 1.34±0.21, 1.34±0.17, and 1.31±0.18 for the horizontal, oblique, and vertical groups, respectively. The efficacy index was 1.26±0.21, 1.33±0.18, and 1.27±0.16 for the three groups, respectively, both with no statistically significant differences(P>0.05). Vault: there was a significant difference in postoperative vault among the three groups(P=0.003), with the vertical group having the lowest vault, followed by the horizontal group and the oblique group. The vaults at different follow-up time points within each group showed significant differences(P<0.001), and all decreased over time. Residual astigmatism: there was no significant difference in residual astigmatism among the three groups(P=0.130), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001). Rotation angle: no significant differences in rotation angle were observed among the three groups(P=0.135), but there were differences at different follow-up time points within each group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The implantation of TICL in different orientations has good safety and efficacy, the postoperative rotational stability is good, and the appropriate angle can be selected to implant TICL according to the clinical situation.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the slit?lamp method and wavefront aberrometry method based on outcomes of toric realignment surgeries. Settings: Tertiary care ophthalmic hospital. Design: Retrospective study. Methods: This study included all eyes undergoing toric intraocular lens (TIOL) realignment surgery between January 2019 and December 2021 for which TIOL axis assessment by slit?lamp method and wavefront aberrometry method was available. Data were retrieved from electronic medical records, and we documented demographics, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), subjective refraction, and TIOL axis by slit?lamp and wavefront aberrometry methods on postoperative day 1 and day 14. In patients with misalignment, TIOL was realigned to the original position in group 1 (27 patients) and to an axis based on calculations provided by wavefront aberrometer in group 2 (25 patients). Post?realignment surgery, UCVA, subjective refraction, and TIOL axis by slit?lamp and wavefront aberrometry methods were assessed and analyzed. Results: We analyzed 52 eyes and found that the mean preoperative misalignment with the slit?lamp method (44.9° ±20.0°) and wavefront aberrometry (47.1° ±19.5°) was similar. The corresponding degrees of misalignment post?TIOL repositioning surgeries were 5.2° ±5.2° (slit?lamp method) and 4.7° ±5.1° (wavefront aberrometry) (P = 0.615). Both groups showed significant improvement in median log of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) UCVA and reduction in median refractive cylinder. Conclusions: Slit?lamp method is as good as wavefront aberrometer method to assess TIOL axis. Toric realignment surgery is found to be safe, and realigning TIOL based on either slit?lamp method or wavefront aberrometer method equally improved UCVA and decreased residual refractive cylinder.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes and residual astigmatism following implantation of Eyecryl toric versus Alcon AcrySof IQ toric intra?ocular lenses (IOLs). Methods: This retrospective, observational study included 143 eyes of 141 patients who underwent phaco?emulsification, followed by implantation of Eyecryl toric IOL (n = 83 eyes) or Alcon toric IOL (n = 60 eyes) in an eye hospital in South India from 2018 to 2021. At 1 month post?op, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA), and residual astigmatism of the toric IOL were compared and analyzed. Results: The mean pre?op corneal astigmatism was 2.02 ± 0.81 D and 1.70 ± 0.68 D in the Alcon and Eyecryl groups, respectively (P = 0.005). The mean post?op corneal astigmatism at 1 month was 0.50 ± 0.51 D and 0.36 ± 0.42 D in the Alcon and Eyecryl groups, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between them (P = 0.87). The mean post?op UCVA in logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) at 1 month was similar between the groups at 0.17 ± 0.18 and 0.17 ± 0.16 in the Alcon and Eyecryl groups, respectively (P = 0.98). The mean post?op BCVA in logMAR at 1 month was 0.06 ± 0.09 and 0.03 ± 0.10 in the Alcon and Eyecryl groups, respectively (P = 0.02). Conclusion: Both Eyecryl toric and Alcon AcrySof IQ toric IOLs showed comparable post?operative outcomes in terms of UCVA and residual astigmatism. The post?op BCVA was clinically similar between groups but statistically better in the Eyecryl toric group

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate whether the toric intra?ocular lens (IOL) power calculation based on total corneal astigmatism (TCA) in eyes with high posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) could result in a systematic over?correction or under?correction after operation. Methods: The present study included a mono?centric retrospective study design. The data were collected from 62 consecutive eyes during uncomplicated cataract surgery by a single surgeon with a measured PCA of 0.50 diopters (D) or higher. Toric IOL calculations were made using TCA measurements. The eyes were grouped as either “with?the?rule” (WTR) or “against?the?rule” (ATR) on the basis of the steep anterior corneal meridian. The post?operative refractive astigmatic prediction error was analyzed 1 month post?operatively using the vector analysis by the Alpins method and double?angle plots method. Results: The correction indexes were 1.14 ± 0.29 in the ATR eyes and 1.25 ± 0.18 for the WTR eyes, indicating a tendency toward over?correction. The mean over?correction was 0.22 ± 0.52D in the ATR group and 0.65 ± 0.60D in the WTR group. The magnitude of error (ME) values were significantly different from the ideal value of zero in both groups (ATR: P = 0.03; WTR: P = 0.00). No significant difference in mean absolute error (MAE) in predicted residual astigmatism was found between ATR and WTR groups (0.61 ± 0.42 D versus 0.64 ± 0.39 D; P = 0.54). The ATR group yielded better results, with 48% <0.50D prediction error in the main analysis. Conclusions: The results suggested that in cases of high PCA, the toric IOL calculation, which was performed using TCA, may cause a potential over?correction in the ATR and WTR eyes. For ATR eyes, over?correction led to slight disruption of post?operative visual quality because of the “with?the?rule” residual astigmatism after operation. Therefore, we suggested using TCA for toric IOL calculation in ATR eyes.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of preloaded toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification. Methods: This prospective study included 51 eyes of 51 patients with visually significant cataracts and corneal astigmatism ranging between 0.75 and 5.50 D. All patients underwent phacoemulsification with SupraPhob toric intraocular lens implantation under topical anesthesia. The main outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), residual refractive cylinder, spherical equivalent, and IOL stability at 3 months follow?up. Results: At 3 months, 49% (25/51) of patients had UDVA equal to or better than 20/25 with 100% of eyes achieving better than 20/40. Mean logMAR UDVA improved from 1.02 ± 0.39, preoperatively to 0.11 ± 0.10 at 3 months follow?up (P < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed?rank test). The mean refractive cylinder improved from ? 1.56 ± 1.25 D preoperatively to ? 0.12 ± 0.31 D at 3 months follow?up (P < 0.001) while the mean spherical equivalent value changed from ? 1.93 ± 3.71D preoperatively to ? 0.16 ± 0.27D (P = 0.0013). The mean root mean square value for higher order aberrations was 0.30 ± 0.18 ?m while the average contrast sensitivity value (Pelli?Robson chart) was 1.56 ± 0.10 log unit, at the final follow?up. The mean IOL rotation at 3 weeks was 1.7 ± 1.61 degrees, which did not change significantly at 3 months (P = 0.988) follow?up. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion: SupraPhob toric IOL implantation is an effective method for addressing preexisting corneal astigmatism in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification with good rotational stability

ABSTRACT

Insufficient pupillary dilatation is a significant challenge during cataract surgery, as it increases the risk of various intraoperative complications. Implantation of toric intraocular lenses (TIOL) is particularly difficult in eyes with small pupils, as the toric marks are provided in the periphery of the IOL optic, making the visualization of the same difficult for proper alignment. Attempts at visualizing these marks using a second instrument such as a dialler or iris retractor lead to additional manipulations in the anterior chamber resulting in increased chances of postoperative inflammation and intraocular pressure rise. A new intraocular lens (IOL) marker to guide the implantation of TIOLs in eyes with small pupils is described, which can potentially be beneficial in achieving accurate alignment of toric IOLs in small pupils, without the need for additional manipulations, thus improving safety, efficacy, and success rates of TIOL implantation in these eyes.

ABSTRACT

We report the outcomes of a custom-designed toric piggyback intraocular lens in a patient with high postoperative residual astigmatism. A 60-year-old male patient underwent customized toric piggyback IOL for postoperative residual astigmatism of 13 D, with follow-up examinations for IOL stability and refractive outcomes. The refractive error stabilized at two months and remained stable at one year, with a correction of nearly 9 D of astigmatism. The IOP remained within normal limits, and there were no postoperative complications. The IOL remained stable in the horizontal position. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of correction of unusually high astigmatism by a novel smart toric design of piggyback IOL.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Barrett toric calculator (BTC) is known for its accuracy in toric IOL (tIOL) calculation over standard calculators; however, there is no study in literature to compare it with real?time intraoperative aberrometry (IA). The aim was to compare the accuracy of BTC and IA in predicting refractive outcomes in tIOL implantation. Methods: This was an institution?based prospective, observational study. Patients undergoing routine phacoemulsification with tIOL implantation were enrolled. Biometry was obtained from Lenstar?LS 900 and IOL power calculated using online BTC; however, IOL was implanted as per IA (Optiwave Refractive Analysis, ORA, Alcon) recommendation. Postoperative refractive astigmatism (RA) and spherical equivalent (SE) were recorded at one month, and respective prediction errors (PEs) were calculated using predicted refractive outcomes for both methods. The primary outcome measure was a comparison between mean PE with IA and BTC, and secondary outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), postoperative RA, and SE at one month. SPSS Version?21 was used; P < 0.05 considered significant. Results: Thirty eyes of 29 patients were included. Mean arithmetic and mean absolute PEs for RA were comparable between BTC (?0.70 ± 0.35D; 0.70 ± 0.34D) and IA (0.77 ± 0.32D; 0.80 ± 0.39D) (P = 0.09 and 0.09, respectively). Mean arithmetic PE for residual SE was significantly lower for BTC (?0.14 ± 0.32D) than IA (0.001 ± 0.33D) (?0.14 ± 0.32D; P = 0.002); however, there was no difference between respective mean absolute PEs (0.27 ± 0.21 D; 0.27 ± 0.18; P = 0.80). At one?month, mean UCDVA, RA, and SE were 0.09 ± 0.10D, ?0.57 ± 0.26D, and ?0.18 ± 0.27D, respectively. Conclusion: Both IA and BTC give reliable and comparable refractive results for tIOL implantation.

ABSTRACT

Background: Toric Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are supposed to be aligned at a particular axis for spectacle?free vision for distance. The evolution of topographers and optical biometers has made it quite achievable for us to aim the target. However, the result sometimes remains unpredictable. A big aspect of this depends on the preop axis marking for toric IOL alignment. Errors in axis marking have been reduced recently with the array of different toric markers in the market, but still we see postoperative refractive surprises due to faulty marking. Purpose: In this video, we present a novel slit lamp–based toric marker innovation, STORM, which gives us a hands?free approach to a reliable and accurate axis marking on the cornea. The axis marker is a simple modification to our age?old marker, with the advantage of no touch and slit?lamp assistance, which will make it error free and easy to use. Synopsis: The present innovation answers the problem statement of stable, economical, and accurate marking solution. Many a times, hand?holding devices create inaccurate and stressed condition while marking the cornea before corneal surgery. Highlights: The invention can be used for marking of accurate and easy astigmatic axis of a toric IOL preoperatively, that is, before the surgery. If the appropriate device is used to mark the cornea, it would impact the outcome of surgery. This device also makes the patient and the surgeon comfortable to mark the cornea with accuracy and without hesitation

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the visual quality of LENTIS Comfort Toric intraocular lens implantation in cataract surgery.METHODS: A retrospective controlled clinical study was conducted on 40 patients(40 eyes)who received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation assisted by digital navigation, with LENTIS Comfort Toric(MF15T)implanted in group A(24 eyes)and monofocal Toric intraocular lens implanted in group B(16 eyes). The visual acuity at different distances, the postoperative astigmatism center of mass value, the lens loss rate, the change of defocus curve and the stability of intraocular lens were observed at 3mo after surgery.RESULTS: There were no serious complications in both groups, and there was no significant difference in distance vision between group A and group B at 3mo after surgery(P&#x003E;0.05); the visual acuity and near vision in group A were significantly better than those in group B(P&#x003C;0.01); the postoperative lens loss rate in group A was 99%, and it was 45% in group B(P&#x003C;0.05); the value of astigmatism center of mass in 3mo after surgery was improved compared with that before surgery, and there was no significant difference between groups(P&#x003E;0.05); the defocus curve of group A peaked at +0.50 and -1.75D at 3mo after surgery, forming plateau and gently declining, while group B showed a steep decline after peaks at +0.25 and -0.25D. One eye(4%)in group A had the axial rotation of intraocular lens greater than 10° at 1d after surgery; In group B, 6 eyes(38%)had axial rotation of intraocular lenses greater than 10°, 2 eyes(33%)rotated clockwise, and 4 eyes(67%)rotated counterclockwise. No intraocular lens displacement occurred in either group.CONCLUSION: Both kinds of intraocular lenses can correct astigmatism, among which LENTIS Comfort Toric intraocular lens can provide personalized choices for people with cataract and astigmatism, solve astigmatism and obtain full visual acuity at the same time, with low incidence of postoperative optical interference, better stability, high visual quality and satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To measure the indexes including postoperative distance, middle, near visual acuity and near stereopsis vision of patients with high myopia cataract and corneal astigmatism by femtosecond laser, which can quantify the diameter of capsulorhexis opening, and to evaluate the availability and necessity of Toric intraocular lenses(IOL)in high myopia.METHODS: Prospective case-control study. Patients with binocular high myopia cataract and corneal astigmatism who undergone femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in our hospital were selected, and they were divided into two groups, with 20 cases(40 eyes)in group A(Toric IOL)and 20 cases(40 eyes)in group B(IQ IOL). Indexes, including preoperative corneal astigmatism and spherical equivalent and best-corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected middle visual acuity, uncorrected near visual acuity, residual refractive astigmatism, near stereopsis acuity, total high-order aberration and total spherical aberration, were measured postoperatively at 7d, 1 and 3mo.RESULTS: The uncorrected middle and near visual acuity, Titmus near stereopsis acuity and residual astigmatism at 7d, 1 and 3mo after surgery were significantly improved in the Toric IOL group than the non-Toric group(all P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05). The dependence on glasses was reduced. The postoperative best-corrected distance visual acuity, total high-order aberration and total spherical aberration of the two groups showed no statistically significant differences(all P&#x0026;#x003E;0.05).CONCLUSIONS: The implantation of Toric IOL in patients with high myopia cataract and corneal astigmatism can effectively correct corneal astigmatism, improve postoperative uncorrected middle and near visual acuity and near stereopsis visual function, reduce postoperative dependence on glasses and enhance binocular stereopsis visual function.

ABSTRACT

Background: With about 87% of patients with cataracts having astigmatism, management of astigmatism in cataract surgery not only yields an improved unaided visual acuity and image quality but also higher patient satisfaction. The video will give a step?wise guide to cataract surgeons to manage astigmatism with cataracts. Purpose: To hit the bull’s eye as far as target refraction is concerned, it is necessary to understand the benefits and limitations of currently available cutting?edgetechnology and formulae and apply them to the cataract surgery practice. The purpose of the video is to make sure that we have no surprises in our Toric intraocular lens (IOL) planning. Synopsis: After a brief introduction to available modalities for the treatment of astigmatism, a step?wise approach to diagnostics is discussed, which will include the role of corneal topography and aberrometers and their application to planning Toric IOLs. Appropriate planning, implementation, and execution in form of preoperative and intraoperative pearls of using Toric IOLs are shown in the video. This will be followed by troubleshooting and case?based discussions and future perspectives including the possible role of corneal biomechanics. Highlights: What this video adds new is the importance of topography, interpretation of Belin?Ambrosio display map and the equivalent keratometry reading (EKR) map, aberrometry, and higher order aberration (HOA) analysis and role of biomechanics in Toric IOL planning. Video also highlights the importance of posterior corneal astigmatism and accurate axis marking. With a case?based approach and relevant examples, we are trying to decipher the enigma of astigmatism by giving a step?wise approach for the same

ABSTRACT

Background: One of the most widely performed surgical procedures nowadays is cataract surgery combined with monofocal intraocular lens implantation (IOL). Monofocal IOLs can compensate for the spherical refractive error but not astigmatism. Thus, patients with astigmatism are unable to see well after surgery without spectacles. A new generation of IOLs called toric IOLs, improve uncorrected visual acuity in eyes with high astigmatism due to a specific lens design. This study aimed to present a practical method of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation based on a refractive power analyzer system and slit-lamp observation.Material & Methods:This prospective study comprised 30 patients who underwent toric IOL implantation with cataract extraction at the Department of Ophthalmology, National Institute of Ophthalmology, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This study was conducted from Jan 2021 to Dec 2021. Approval from the local ethical committee was obtained.Results:The study included 45 eyes of 30 patients. The sex distribution of the study patients where the male was 18(60%) and the female was 12(40%). In the age distribution of the study, 5(16.67%) patients were from the 60-69 range, 10(33.33%) patients were from the 70-79 range, and 15(50.00%) patients were from the 80-89 range. The patients’ demographic variables consequently. Changes in visual acuity and refraction are shown in table-4 thorough preoperative and postoperative. Postoperative IOL alignment methods are shown in table-5, the mean±SD of the slit-lamp target was 2.55±2.76 and in the range, of 0.0 to 12.0, the mean±SD of the corneal analyzer target was 2.55±1.98 and range was 0.0 to 11.0, and the mean±SD of the slit-lamp corneal analyzer was 3.27±2.98 and range was 0.0 to 16.0.Conclusions:We studied 2 methods of assessing toric IOL alignment postoperatively and found no significant difference between them. Both were reliable and predictable. In addition, we found that the simple preoperative marking technique we used yielded toric IOL alignment that was as accurate as that obtained with other commonly used techniques and that was within a clinically acceptable level.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and refractive outcomes of cataract patients with astigmatism following implantation of Eyecryl™ and Tecnis® toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods: We conducted a single?center, retrospective study including patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and implantation with either Eyecryl™ toric (Group 1) or Tecnis® toric (Group 2) IOL. The primary outcome measures included postoperative UDVA and residual astigmatism at 3 months. The secondary outcome measure was IOL misalignment >10° throughout the follow?up period. Results: One hundred and eight eyes of 76 patients (44 males and 32 females) were analyzed. Twenty?nine patients (38 eyes) received Eyecryl™ toric IOL (Group 1), and 47 patients (70 eyes) received Tecnis® toric IOL (Group 2). Groups 1 and 2 showed a mean postoperative logMAR UDVA of 0.09 ± 0.11 and 0.06 ± 0.09, respectively, at 3 months (P = 0.114). In both groups, all the eyes achieved a postoperative UDVA of ?0.3 logMAR. The postoperative residual astigmatism of group 1 and group 2 was ?0.29 ± 0.34 D and ?0.16 ± 0.27 D, respectively (P = 0.038). Postoperative astigmatism was within ± 1.00 D in all the eyes. No eyes had an IOL misalignment >10° throughout the follow?up period. Conclusion: Both Eyecryl™ and Tecnis® toric IOLs provided significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity and astigmatism correction postoperatively. The Tecnis® toric IOL provided statistically significant lower residual astigmatism than Eyecryl™toric IOL. However, the difference in postoperative astigmatism between the two IOLs was clinically insignificant

ABSTRACT

Aims: Image-guided systems are the gold standard for determining toric intraocular lens (IOL) axis alignment. However, their high cost prevents widespread use of these systems. As an alternative, a simpler and affordable method could be performed manually using a slit-lamp biomicroscope. This study aims to compare the accuracy of manual toric IOL axis marking using a slit-lamp compared to the CALLISTO eye image-guided system.Study Design: Prospective comparativeMethods: In this prospective study, toric IOL axis alignment of 42 eyes with cataract and coexisting corneal astigmatism were evaluated using manual slitlamp method and CALLISTO eye image-guided method. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, amount of spherical and astigmatic refractive errors, and postoperative IOL axis alignment were evaluated. Intraclass correlation of the manual method was calculated and the difference of IOL axis alignment to the image-guided method was compared.Results: Toric IOL implantation reduced the amount of astigmatic refractive error from -1.63 � 0.65 D to -0.50 � 0.19 D in the image-guided group and from -1.93 � -0.90 D to -0.87 � 0.26 D in the manual slitlamp group. As many as 90.5% of eyes in the image-guided group and 81.0% of eyes in the manual slitlamp group reached the target induced astigmatism (p=0.38). Manual axis marking showed intraclass correlation of 99.3%. However, when the manual method was compared to the image-guided method a mean difference in axis alignment of 10.98o (95% confidence interval: 9.32o - 12.63o) was observed.Conclusions: Alignment of toric IOL axis using the manual method demonstrated a consistent result; yet producing a considerable difference to the result of the image-guided method.
