ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) with that of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for the treatment of astigmatism during phacoemulsification using nonvectorial (predictability, safety, and efficacy) and vectorial analyses. Methods: This longitudinal observational case series assessed 62 eyes of 31 consecutive cataract patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of 0.75-2.50 diopters (D) in both eyes. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: a toric IOL group, which received toric IOLs in both eyes, and an LRI group, which received spherical IOLs associated with LRI placement in both eyes. All patients were evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, when refractive astigmatism analysis was performed using both nonvectorial and Alpins vectorial methods. Outcomes were assessed within each group and compared between groups. Results: The proportion of eyes within ±0.50 D of the intended correction at 3 and 6 months after surgery was 75% and 71.88%, respectively, in the LRI group and 40% and 66.67%, respectively, in the toric IOL group. In the remaining period, the proportion was greater in the toric IOL group. The safety index showed no difference at any time point. The efficacy index at 1 and 3 months after surgery was significantly higher in the toric IOL group (0.43 and 0.44, respectively) than in the LRI group (0.31 and 0.36, respectively). At 6 months after surgery, the status of eyes in the LRI group was as follows: 53.13% were undercorrected, 43.74% achieved the intended correction, and 3.13% were overcorrected. In the toric IOL group, 16.76% eyes were undercorrected, 76.67% achieved the intended correction, and 6.67% were overcorrected. The success rates for astigmatic surgery, astigmatism reduction at the intended axis, and astigmatism corrected were 43%, 62%, and 64%, respectively, in the LRI group and 57%, 81%, and 94%, respectively, in the toric IOL group.

Objetivo: Comparar incisões relaxantes limbares (IRL) e lentes intraoculares (LIO) tóricas tanto em termos não-vetoriais (efetividade, segurança e eficácia), quanto vetoriais no tratamento do astigmatismo por ocasião da facoemulsificação. Métodos: Estudo observacional longitudinal (série de casos) no qual foram avaliados 62 olhos de 31 pacientes consecutivos de catarata com astigmatismo corneano pré-operatório entre 0,75 e 2,50 dioptrias (D) para ambos os olhos. Os pacientes foram aleatoriamente distribuídos entre 2 grupos: "1" submetido a implante de lentes intraoculares AcrySof ToricTM em ambos os olhos e "2" com implante bilateral de lentes intraoculares tóricas AcrySof NaturalTM complementada por incisões relaxantes limbares. Todos os pacientes foram reavaliados com 1, 3 e 6 meses de pós-operatório, sendo feitas análises do astigmatismo refracional por métodos não-vetoriais, como pela análise vetorial de Alpins, interessando os resultados dentro de cada grupo e entre os grupos. Resultados: O porcentual de olhos entre ±0,50 D da correção pretendida no grupo incisões relaxantes limbares foi de 75 e 71,88%, respectivamente, em comparação aos 40 e 66,67% do grupo lentes intraoculares tóricas aos 3 e 6 meses de pós-operatório. Nos outros períodos avaliados, os porcentuais foram favoráveis ao grupo lentes intraoculares tóricas. O índice de segurança não demonstrou diferença em nenhum dos períodos. O índice de eficácia foi estatisticamente maior para o grupo lentes intraoculares tórica com 1 e 3 meses de pós-operatório (0,43 e 0,44), em comparação ao grupo incisões relaxantes limbares (0,31 e 0,36). Aos 6 meses, o porcentual de olhos, para o grupo incisões relaxantes limbares, foi: hipocorreção ...
