ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the differences in visual recovery,
corneal astigmatism, and
rotation stability of Toric
intraocular lens(TIOL)implantation in
cataract patients with different axial lengths.
METHODS:
Retrospective
analysis. A total of 132
patients(132
eyes)with age-related
cataract and
corneal astigmatism who underwent
phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with TIOL implantation in our
hospital's
ophthalmology department from February 2021 to September 2022 were selected. They were divided into two groups based on the axial length the group with axial length ≤24mm(79 cases, 79
eyes)and the group with axial length >24mm(53 cases, 53
eyes). Compare the best corrected distance
visual acuity(BCDVA),
corneal astigmatism, and TIOL
rotation between the two groups of
patients at 3mo after
surgery.
RESULT:
After 3mo of
surgery, both groups of
patients had improved BCDVA and significantly decreased
corneal astigmatism compared to those before
surgery(P<0.001). However, there was no difference in BCDVA and
corneal astigmatism between the two groups(P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in TIOL
rotation between the two groups [(5.24±3.72)° vs.(6.36±4.21)°, P=0.110].
CONCLUSION:
There is no significant difference in visual recovery,
corneal astigmatism, and TIOL rotational stability after TIOL implantation in
cataract patients with different axial lengths.
