BACKGROUND To compare the clinical outcomes after implantation of AcrySof Toric IOLs with different clear corneal incisions. METHODS Sixty cataract patients with regular corneal astigmatism who underwent phacoemulsification combined with implantation of an AcrySof Toric IOL were enrolled. They were divided into two groups according to the position of the clear corneal incision: steep-axis and...

PURPOSE To compare lens orientation and rotational recovery of five currently available soft toric lenses. METHODS Twenty subjects were recruited and trialed with each of the study lenses in a random order. Study lenses were PureVision(®) Toric (B&L), Air Optix(®) for Astigmatism (Alcon), Biofinity(®) Toric (CooperVision), Acuvue(®) Advance for Astigmatism (Vistakon), and Proclear(®) Toric (C...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative keratometers used in cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Twenty-five eyes received an AcrySof toric IOL implantation. Four different keratometric methods, a manual keratometer, an IOL master, a Pentacam and an auto keratometer, were performed preoperatively in order to evaluate preexisting corneal astigmatism. Difference...

purpose: to evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of implantable collamer lens (icl) and toric icl for the treat­ment of high myopia and high myopic astigmatism, one year prospective study. methods: in this prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, 95 eyes of 51 patients that had icl (31 eyes) and toric icl (64 eyes) were participate in eye research center, department of o...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a patient in whom simultaneous toric phakic intraocular lens removal and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation were beneficial for reducing pre-existing astigmatism and acquiring good visual outcomes in eyes with implantable collamer lens-induced cataract and astigmatism. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old woman had undergone toric implan...

Posterior Chamber Phakic Toric Implantable Collamer Lenses have become increasingly used to correct refractive error associated with astigmatism. These devices are claimed to provide high efficacy in terms of refractive correction. This book chapter is an updated review on the safety and effectiveness and potential complications of the toric implantable collamer lens (Toric ICL) published in pe...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare a new diffractive trifocal toric lens with an apodized diffractive bifocal toric lens in terms of refractive and visual acuity (VA) outcomes, including low-contrast VA (LCVA), as well as the patient's visual function 3 months after implantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a randomized prospective study involving bilateral implantation of a trifoc...

BACKGROUND To systematically evaluate the visual performance of aspheric AcrySof IQ and spherical AcrySof Natural intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Potential randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that involved implanting AcrySof IQ and AcrySof Natural were searched from PubMed, Web of science, EMBASE, Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Databas...
