J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144194. [PMID: 35887960 PMCID: PMC9322991 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The current investigation evaluates the efficiency of the trifocal toric Liberty 677MTY intraocular lens (IOL) in correcting preoperative corneal astigmatism in cataract patients demanding spectacle independence. The retrospective evaluation included 28 eyes of 15 patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of at least 1.0 Dioptre (D). All patients were followed up for one year postoperatively. Residual refractive errors and visual acuities at multiple distances were measured. Binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity defocus curves were plotted. Visual functions and patient satisfaction were assessed. The efficiency of astigmatism correction was determined using the vector analysis method. The mean spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ) improved from 2.72 ± 1.62 D to 0.10 ± 0.48 D. The cylindric refraction decreased from 1.18 ± 0.45 D to 0.16 ± 0.31 D. Vector analysis proved efficient astigmatism correction with a centroid of 0.10 ± 0.34 D at 161°. Ninety-two percent of eyes resulted within 0.5 D from the target refraction. Visual acuities were 0.1 logMAR or better from +1.0 to −3.5 D defocus values. Visual tasks could be performed without major difficulties. Our patients were highly satisfied. Refractive and visual outcomes with the investigated presbyopia-correcting toric IOL are predictable and the lens provides excellent trifocal vision.

Fus M, Pitrova S. Evaluation of Decentration, Tilt and Angular Orientation of Toric Intraocular Lens. Clin Ophthalmol 2022; 15:4755-4761. [PMID: 34983999 PMCID: PMC8699775 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s346968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to develop software for the universal objective evaluation of factors influencing intraocular correction of astigmatism, such as decentration, tilt, axial position and angular orientation the toric intraocular lens (IOL). Patients and Methods Software was developed using the MS Visual Studio environment. The analysis was presented using images of 67 eyes with an implanted IOLs of the SN6ATx model series. Decentration and angular position of the lens were obtained from images of the anterior segment of the eye, using a Visucam unit. Tilt was measured on tomographic images from OCT Avanti (in meridian of highest tilt and perpendicular meridian) and preoperative biometry parameters of eye (axial length, anterior chamber depth – ACD, ocular lens thickness – LT, limbus diameter and mean keratometry value) including postoperative anterior chamber depth (pACD) were measured using Lenstar LS900. Results Applying the software methodology to the evaluation of individual toric IOL parameters, the following results were obtained: mean decentration 0.25 ± 0.17 mm which was observed in 61.19% of eyes, mean misalignment to the planned axis equal to 3.8 ± 3.6 degrees, mean highest inclination equal to 3.7 ± 1.2 degrees and mean difference of pACD and ACD was equal to 1.46 ± 0.31 mm. There was only a weak nonsignificant correlation between preoperative ACD versus decentration and tilt of IOL or a weak significant correlation between preoperative LT and both decentration and misalignment of IOL. Conclusion The use of the presented methodology for determining the positional parameters of the toric IOL provided comparable results with the results of recent studies. Software design can be considered as a suitable alternative to previously published techniques, with the significant advantage of the possibility of using universal input images, their graphical editing and especially the possibility of comprehensive analysis of all parameters.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes, Visual Quality and Visual Function of Two Presbyopia-Correcting Intraocular Lenses Made from the Same Material, but with Different Design and Optics. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10153268. [PMID: 34362052 PMCID: PMC8347739 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10153268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
This semi-prospective, parallel, comparative investigation evaluated the clinical outcomes and quality of vision (contrast sensitivity, visual function, dysphotopsia, spectacle use, overall satisfaction) after mono- or bilateral implantation of two presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOL)—the Liberty® 677MY or the AT LISA® tri 839M—in 50 eyes of 25 cataract patients. Clinical outcomes were assessed 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Eighty-nine percent of eyes implanted with the Liberty IOL and 59% of eyes implanted with the AT LISA IOL achieved a refractive outcome ±0.5 diopters of the target (emmetropia). Refractive outcomes were stable with both lenses. The proportions of eyes with 20/20 uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and 20/20 uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) were higher in the Liberty group than in the AT LISA group (UDVA: 56% vs. 41%; UNVA: 83% vs. 66%). Optical quality assessment results were comparable for the two IOLs. Superior photopic contrast sensitivity was found with the Liberty lens. The rate of Nd:YAG capsulotomy at the 12-month follow-up was 16.7% in the Liberty group and 40.6% for the AT LISA IOL. Considering that both lenses are made from the same material, we propose that the noted differences in clinical outcomes may derive from differences in design and optical surface between the two IOLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare clinical outcomes after cataract surgery and bilateral implantation of 2 diffractive trifocal toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). SETTING Hospital da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal. DESIGN Double-arm, randomized, prospective case series. METHODS A total of 60 patients were randomly allocated to receive bilateral implantation of either the FineVision Pod FT toric IOL (PhysIOL) or the AcrySof IQ PanOptix toric IOL (Alcon). Visual and refractive outcomes, contrast sensitivity, IOL misalignment, and quality of vision outcomes (QoV questionnaire) were evaluated at 3 months postoperatively. Surgically induced astigmatic changes were evaluated by vector analysis. RESULTS Each group (FineVision toric and AcrySof IQ PanOptix toric) comprised 30 patients (60 eyes). No significant differences between groups were found regarding uncorrected and corrected distance and near visual outcomes (P ≥ .333). Mean postoperative distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity at 60 cm was 0.04 ± 0.09 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.09 ± 0.11 logMAR in the PanOptix and Pod FT group, respectively (P = .032). Mean IOL axis misalignment was 1.59 degrees ± 2.15 degrees (PanOptix group) and 1.89 degrees ± 3.31 degrees (Pod FT group) (P = .821). Mean magnitude of error of astigmatic correction was -0.09 diopters (D) and -0.11 D in the PanOptix group and Pod FT group, respectively (P = .333). Contrast sensitivity, QoV scores for the presence of photic phenomena, and the level of spectacle independence were similar in both groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Both trifocal toric IOLs allowed complete patient visual restoration, and good spectacle independence and good visual quality outcomes. The PanOptix IOL provided superior intermediate visual acuity for distances around 60 cm.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the prediction error (PE) after applying the Abulafia-Koch formula in an online calculator with and without consideration of anterior corneal surgically induced astigmatism (SIACornea).Methods: SIACornea models were calculated with a historical database of 204 right eyes (REs) from a single surgeon, either for manual (2.2 mm) or femtosecond (2.5 mm) temporal clear corneal incisions. PE was assessed in 58 REs operated by the same surgeon with a monofocal toric IOL and calculated, considering the PCA estimation in an online calculator with the combination of each one of the following SIACornea calculation approaches: (A) considering only significant centroids after stratification, (B) all centroids after stratification and (C) a single centroid without stratification.Results: The consideration of all centroids resulted in an underestimation of SIACornea in cases of preoperative against-the-rule astigmatism (ATR-A) and an overestimation in with-the-rule astigmatism (WTR-A). After stratification, SIACornea was only significant in preoperative ATR and oblique astigmatism cases for femtosecond incisions. PE considering PCA only was 0.03@160º. The combination with SIACornea resulted in a WTR-A surprise in preoperative ATR-A and WTR-A, however only being significant for preoperative ATR-A in calculation approaches B (0.29@84º) and C (0.21@80º). SIACornea addition to PCA estimation only reduced the centroid for oblique preoperative astigmatism.Conclusions: Surgeons should consider the calculation of the SIACornea after stratification by astigmatism type when using the same incision location (i.e. temporal). However, SIACornea derived from the anterior corneal surface should not be combined with PCA estimation for IOL power calculations.

Evaluation of Astigmatism-Correcting Efficiency and Rotational Stability after Cataract Surgery with a Double-Loop Haptic Toric Intraocular Lens: A 1-Year Follow-Up. Biomed Hub 2021; 6:30-41. [PMID: 33791315 PMCID: PMC7991491 DOI: 10.1159/000513894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes, predictability of results, efficiency of astigmatism correction, and rotational stability of the Bi-Flex 677TAY (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Zsámbék, Hungary) monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) designed for cataract patients with astigmatism. METHODS The IOLs were implanted either mono- or binocularly, following routine cataract surgery. Visual and refractive outcomes, as well as off-axis rotation were assessed throughout a 1-year follow-up period. All clinical data for this work were collected retrospectively. Vector analysis based on the Alpins method was performed to assess the efficiency of astigmatism correction. RESULTS No complications or adverse events occurred during surgery or the follow-up period. IOL implantation brought 88% of eyes into the ±0.50 D, and 100% into the ± 1.00 D range compared to the target spherical equivalent refraction, emmetropia. Astigmatism correction brought similar results: 94% of eyes had a residual cylindrical error of not higher than ±0.50 D, and 97% were within ±1.00 D. Vector analysis resulted in a correction index of 0.96 and a difference vector of 0.17. Both refractive and visual outcomes showed long-term stability. During the 12-month follow-up period, no eyes had a rotation of >5°. Absolute rotation after 1 year was 1.42 ± 1.89° (median = 0°), while signed rotation was 1.06 ± 2.12° (median = 0°). CONCLUSION The Bi-Flex 677TAY monofocal toric IOL, designed by Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., represents an efficient and safe solution for cataract patients with astigmatism. Clinical and refractive outcomes are predictable, and rotational stability ensures long-term visual comfort.

Abstract
Corneal astigmatism significantly compromises uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) after phacoemulsification with implantation of traditional spherical or non-spherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). Toric IOL provides an effective way to gain favorable postoperative UCVA for the patients with cataracts with corneal astigmatism. There are numerous types of toric IOLs; however AcrySof® IQ toric IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) and TECNIS® toric IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision; Johnson & Johnson) are most frequently used in our clinical practice. The purpose of the current study was to compare the clinical efficacy of AcrySof IQ with TECNIS toric IOL implantation, and to provide a clinical basis on selecting an appropriate toric IOL before cataract surgery for patients with corneal astigmatism. A total of 30 patients with cataract (44 eyes) with corneal astigmatism [0.82-7.27 diopters (D)], who have undergone phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation between October 2012 and December 2017, were included in the current retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups: One group (26 eyes) received the AcrySof IQ toric IOL (AcrySof group) and the other group (18 eyes) received the TECNIS toric IOL (Tecnis group). The indexes of curative effect, such as uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA, respectively), refractive outcomes, contrast sensitivity (CS), IOL rotation, and satisfaction, were evaluated. Both toric IOLs significantly improved UDVA and CDVA. Postoperative mean residual astigmatism was similar in the AcrySof group and in the Tecnis group (0.75±0.50 and 0.78±0.90 D; P=0.896). There was no statistically significant between postoperative CS in the AcrySof and Tecnis groups. Rotations of >10˚ were considered to be significant and were identified in three eyes. The mean IOL rotation showed no statistically significant difference (AcrySof group, 0.24±5.54˚; Tecnis group, -0.19±6.28˚; P=0.416). The mean patient satisfaction score was 8.46±1.21 in the AcrySof group and 8.78±1.44 in the Tecnis group (P=0.260). The results of the current study indicated that patients with cataracts with corneal astigmatism undergoing phacoemulsification with AcrySof IQ and TECNIS toric IOL implantation achieved similar clinical efficacy in term of visual outcomes, refraction correction, CS, rotational stability and satisfaction.

Efficacy of astigmatic correction after femtosecond laser-guided cataract surgery using intraoperative aberrometry in eyes with low-to-moderate levels of corneal astigmatism. Int Ophthalmol 2020; 40:1181-1189. [PMID: 31927679 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-020-01283-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2019] [Accepted: 01/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of astigmatic correction with two types of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in eyes with low-to-moderate corneal astigmatism using intraoperative aberrometry for optimizing the position of the toric IOL. METHODS Retrospective study includes a total of 99 eyes of 73 patients with anterior keratomeric astigmatism ≤ 3 D and undergoing FLACS (Catalys, Johnson & Johnson Vision) with implantation of a monofocal (Ankoris, PhysIOL) or a multifocal toric IOL with the same platform (Pod FT, PhysIOL). In all cases, intraoperative aberrometry was used (Optiwave refractive analysis, ORA, system, Alcon). Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 4 months after surgery with vector analysis of astigmatic changes. RESULTS A total of 89.9%, 93.9% and 97.0% showed a postoperative sphere, cylinder and spherical equivalent within ± 0.50 D, respectively. Mean difference vector (DV) was 0.22 ± 0.27 D, mean magnitude of error (ME) was 0.13 ± 0.29 D, and mean angle of error (AE) was 1.52 ± 11.64°. Poor correlations of preoperative corneal astigmatism with DV (r = - 0.032, p = 0.833), ME (r = - 0.344, p = 0.001) and AE (r = - 0.094, p = 0.377) were found. Likewise, no statistically significant differences were found between monofocal and multifocal toric IOL subgroups in DV (p = 0.580), ME (p = 0.702) and AE (p = 0.499). CONCLUSIONS The combination of FLACS and intraoperative aberrometry to optimize the position of a toric IOL allows a very efficacious correction of preexisting low-to-moderate corneal astigmatism.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, predictability and safety of astigmatic keratotomy (AK) combined with scleral tunnel incisions in the treatment of high astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Paired AK combined with scleral tunnel incisions was performed at the steep astigmatic meridian in 8 eyes of 8 patients with high keratometric astigmatism [>5.0 diopters (D)] after PKP. Pre- and post-operative parameters, including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction and keratometric astigmatism were evaluated. The Alpins method for vector analysis was used to evaluate the changes in keratometric astigmatism. The results indicated a statistically significant reduction in the mean keratometric astigmatism from 8.16±3.02 D pre-operatively to 2.28±1.07 D at 3 months postoperatively. The mean UCVA improved from 0.95±0.24 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) pre-operatively to 0.61±0.17 logMAR at 3 months postoperatively (P<0.05). The mean BCVA improved from 0.41±0.18 logMAR pre-operatively to 0.26±0.12 logMAR at 3 months postoperatively (P>0.05). Between 3 and 6 months after the surgery, the keratometric astigmatism remained stable. Alpins vector analysis demonstrated the relative predictability of this combined surgical treatment. The surgically induced astigmatism was significantly correlated with the target induced astigmatism (r=0.76, P<0.05). None of the patients had any severe complications. The present study indicated that AK combined with scleral tunnel incisions is an effective, relatively predictable and safe treatment for high astigmatism after PKP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate clinical outcomes with a premium diffractive-refractive trifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) over a 12-month period. METHODS Multicentre prospective clinical trial including 227 eyes of 114 patients undergoing cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of the AT LISA tri toric 939MP IOL (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). One patient was implanted unilaterally. Outcome measures were: visual acuity, manifest refraction, reading performance, contrast sensitivity, defocus curve, patient satisfaction and subjective quality of vision. Alpins vector analysis was used to evaluate astigmatic changes. RESULTS 12-month follow up results of binocular uncorrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity were ≤0.3 logMAR in 99.0%, 98.10% and 91.40% of eyes, respectively. 79.7% of eyes had a cylinder value of ±0.50 D at 12 months post-surgery. Contrast sensitivity was in the normal range at 6 months post-surgery. The defocus curve exhibited a smooth transition between far and near foci. Vector analysis showed a mean magnitude of error of -0.16 ± 0.48 D. Mean binocular distance-corrected reading visual acuity was 0.15 ± 0.13 logRAD at 6 months postoperatively. 93.3%, 89.4% and 84.6% of patients expressed satisfaction (good or very good) with distance, intermediate and near vision, respectively, 12 months after surgery. Most (≥95%) patients felt that visual disturbances, including halos, glare, focusing difficulties and depth perception, caused little or no disturbance. CONCLUSIONS The diffractive-refractive trifocal toric IOL, AT LISA tri toric 939MP, provides effective distance, intermediate and near visual acuity in eyes with corneal astigmatism. Patient satisfaction was high and 98.1% of patients expressed satisfaction with the IOL implanted.

Background To compare the results between hydroimplantation of a single-piece, acrylic foldable toric intraocular lens (IOLs) and conventional implantation using an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD). Methods In this study, 60 eyes with cataract and preexisting regular corneal astigmatism of 1.0 to 3.0 diopters (D) underwent the implantation of the AcrySof toric IOLs (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.). The patients were randomly assigned to a conventional implantation technique with an OVD or a hydroimplantation technique. Comparison of preoperative and postoperative parameters was performed using paired Student t tests, and independent Student t test was used to compare between the two groups. Results Three months postoperatively, the mean subjective astigmatism was 0.45 D ± 0.24 (SD) in the OVD group and 0.49 ± 0.29 D in the hydroimplantation group (P = 0.492). The mean endothelial cell density (ECD) loss was 7.54% ± 0.82% and 7.32% ± 0.59%, respectively (P = 0.117). The mean absolute IOL rotation was 4.77 ± 2.32 degrees and 4.70 ± 1.95 degrees, respectively (P = 0.334). The mean time for IOL implantation was 71.50 ± 8.10 s and 37.60 ± 3.90 s, respectively (P < 0.001). Two hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively, there was no significant difference in IOP between the two groups (P > 0.05), although IOP two hours postoperatively seemed to be a little higher in the OVD group. Conclusions Compared with the use of OVDs for toric IOLs implantation, the hydroimplantation technique provided advantages of increased efficiency, reduced surgical time and cost, and no concerns of OVD-induced elevated IOP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare two calculators for toric intraocular lens (IOL) calculation and to evaluate the prediction of refractive outcome. METHODS Sixty-four eyes of forty-five patients underwent cataract surgery followed by implantation of a toric intraocular lens (Zeiss Torbi 709 M) calculated by a standard industry calculator using front keratometry values. Prediction error, median absolute error, and refractive astigmatism error were evaluated for the standard calculator. The predicted postoperative refraction and toric lens power values were evaluated and compared after postoperative recalculation using the Barrett calculator. RESULTS We observed a significant undercorrection in the spherical equivalent (0.19 D) by using a standard calculator (p ≤ 0.05). According to the Baylor nomogram and the refractive influence of posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA), undercorrection of the cylinder was lower for patients with WTR astigmatism, because of the tendency of overcorrection. An advantage of less residual postoperative SE, sphere, and cylinder for the Barrett calculator was observed when retrospectively comparing the calculated predicted postoperative refraction between calculators (p ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSION Consideration of only corneal front keratometric values for toric lens calculation may lead to postoperative undercorrection of astigmatism. The prediction of postoperative refractive outcome can be improved by using appropriate methods of adjustment in order to take PCA into account.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the distribution of biometric parameters and corneal astigmatism using the IOLMaster device before phacoemulsification in cataract patients in Central China. Methods Consecutive cataract patients were recruited at the Central Hospital of Wuhan between January 2015 and June 2016. Ocular axial length (AL), keratometry values, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and horizontal corneal diameter (white to white [WTW]) of each cataract-affected eye were measured with the IOLMaster device. Results The study evaluated 3209 eyes of 2821 cataract patients. The mean AL, ACD, and WTW were 24.38 ± 2.47 mm, 3.15 ± 0.48 mm, and 11.63 ± 0.43 mm, respectively. Corneal astigmatism of 0.51–1.00 diopters (D) was the most common range of values (34.96%). A total of 10.56% patients exhibited a corneal astigmatism greater than 2.0 D. The flat and steep keratometry values gradually increased with age. The mean ACD and WTW showed increasing trends as the AL increased (P < 0.001). When the AL was shorter than 26.0 mm, the keratometry decreased as AL increased. The against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism proportion increased with age and the with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism proportion decreased with age. Conclusions The profile of ocular biometric data and corneal astigmatism may help ophthalmologists improve their surgical procedures and make an appropriate IOL choice to gain a high quality of postoperative vision.

Clinical Outcomes after Uncomplicated Cataract Surgery with Implantation of the Tecnis Toric Intraocular Lens. J Ophthalmol 2016; 2016:3257217. [PMID: 27022478 PMCID: PMC4789054 DOI: 10.1155/2016/3257217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2015] [Revised: 01/29/2016] [Accepted: 02/02/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the clinical outcomes after uncomplicated cataract surgery with implantation of an aspheric toric intraocular lens (IOL) during a 6-month follow-up. Methods. Prospective study including 27 consecutive eyes of 18 patients (mean age: 66.1 ± 11.4 years) with a visually significant cataract and corneal astigmatism ≥ 0.75 D and undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery with implantation of the Tecnis ZCT toric IOL (Abbott Medical Optics). Visual, refractive, and keratometric outcomes as well as IOL rotation were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up. At the end of the follow-up, patient satisfaction and perception of optical/visual disturbances were also evaluated using a subjective questionnaire. Results. At 6 months after surgery, mean LogMAR uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were 0.19 ± 0.12 and 0.14 ± 0.10, respectively. Postoperative UDVA of 20/40 or better was achieved in 92.6% of eyes. Mean refractive cylinder decreased significantly from -3.73 ± 1.96 to -1.42 ± 0.88 D (p < 0.001), while keratometric cylinder did not change significantly (p = 0.44). Mean absolute IOL rotation was 1.1 ± 2.4°, with values of more than 5° in only 2 eyes (6.9%). Mean patient satisfaction score was 9.70 ± 0.46, using a scale from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied). No postoperative optical/visual disturbances were reported. Conclusion. Cataract surgery with implantation of the Tecnis toric IOL is an effective method of refractive correction in eyes with corneal astigmatism due to the good IOL positional stability, providing high levels of patient's satisfaction.
