RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of astigmatism correction, rotational stability, and related factors of two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses. METHODS: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Cataract patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of > 1 D were randomly implanted with C-loop haptic toric IOL (AcrySof-toric IOL) (group A) or plate-haptic toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 M IOL) (group B). The residual astigmatism, intraocular lens rotation, and visual quality were determined and compared between the two groups at 3 months after surgery. RESULTS: Seventy-nine eyes were included in this study, including 40 eyes in the group A and 39 eyes in the group B. No significant difference in preoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and ophthalmic biological parameters was found between the two groups. There was no significant difference in residual astigmatism between the two groups at 3 months after surgery (P > 0.05). The rotation degree in the group A was 3.85 ± 2.92°, the rotation degree in the group B was 2.33 ± 2.31°, and a significant difference in intraocular lens rotation was identified between the two groups (P < 0.05). Upon exploring the rotation-related factors of the two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses, the rotation after implanting C-loop haptic toric IOL was positively correlated with axial length (Pearson r = 0.522, P = 0.01) and corneal white-to-white distance (Pearson correlation analysis r = 0.356, P = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: The two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses effectively corrected regular corneal astigmatism and provided a good rotational stability after surgery. But the stability of plate-haptic toric IOL was better than that of C-loop haptic toric IOL. The rotational stability of C-loop haptic toric IOL was often related to axial length and corneal white-to-white distance.

PURPOSE: To compare the rotational stability of a monofocal and a diffractive multifocal toric intraocular lens(IOLs) with identical design and material. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled patients who underwent plate-haptic toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 M and AT LISA 909 M) implantation. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance baseline factors. Follow-up examinations were conducted at 1 h, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. A linear mixed model of repeated measures was used to investigate the changes in IOL rotation over time. A 2-week timeframe was utilized to assess differences in IOL rotation between the two groups. RESULT: After PSM, a total of 126 eyes were selected from each group for further analysis. Postoperatively, the time course of IOL rotation change in the two groups remained consistent, with the greatest rotation occurring between 1 h and 1 day postoperatively. At the 2-week postoperative mark, the monofocal toric IOL exhibited a higher degree of rotation compared to the multifocal toric IOL (5.40 ± 7.77° vs. 3.53 ± 3.54°, P = 0.015). In lens thickness(LT) ≥ 4.5 mm and white-to-white distance(WTW) ≥ 11.6 mm subgroups, the monofocal toric IOL rotated greater than the multifocal toric IOL (P = 0.026 and P = 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION: The diffractive multifocal toric IOL exhibits superior rotational stability compared to the monofocal toric IOL, especially in subgroups LT ≥ 4.5 mm and WTW ≥ 11.6 mm. Moreover, the time course of IOL rotation change is consistent for both, with the maximum rotation occurring between 1 h and 1 day postoperatively.

Objectives: To assess the visual improvement and mean residual astigmatism in patients who underwent cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens. METHODS: The retrospective, observational study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, related to adult patients who had regular astigmatism of at least 0.75D and underwent cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens implantation using a digital marker. The patients were followed up on post-operative days 1, 7, 30, 90 and 180. Along with age, the degree of astigmatism was noted. The visual acuity was calculated pre- and post-operatively. The mean residual astigmatism was then noted for all patients post-operatively. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. RESULTS: The sample comprised 240 eyes of 177 patients; 99(55.9%) males and 78(44.1%) females. The mean age of the sample was 62.5±10.6 years. The mean unaided visual acuity improved post-operatively from 0.57±0.38 to 0.07±0.22 at 90 days. At the 30-day follow-up, mean residual astigmatism had reduced from 1.52±0.84 to 0.01±0.09 (p<0.001). The mean intraocular lens rotation from the intended axis was 0.73°±0.92° on day 30. CONCLUSIONS: Toric intraocular lens implantation using a digital marker could effectively reduce the post-operative cylinder, and improve the unaided visual acuity following cataract surgery.

PURPOSE: To determine the toric intraocular lens (IOL) axis by using internal astigmatism axis obtained from Optical Path Difference (OPD) Scan III (Nidek Co.) in non-dilate eyes. METHODS: The eyes of patients who underwent toric IOL implantation for astigmatic correction were investigated. Patients who have ocular surface disorder, keratoconus, posterior capsule opacification were excluded. The IOL axis measured in non-dilated eyes in mesopic conditions by OPD scan III device and the IOL axis measured by using classical slit lamp biomicroscopy method in dilated eyes were detected at postoperative 1st and 6th months. Results were compared with correlation and linear regression analysis. RESULTS: Totally, 26 eyes of 18 patients were included. The difference between biomicroscopic IOL axis and OPD internal astigmatism axis was 4.96 ± 4.41 degrees at the 1st month and 3.62 ± 3.5 degrees at the 6th month. There was a significant and high correlation between biomicroscopic IOL axis and OPD internal astigmatism axis at both 1st month (r = 0.992 p < 0.001) and 6th month (r = 0.995 p < 0.001). According to regression analysis, the results of two measurement methods were significantly compatible with each other at 1st month (R Sq = 0.984 p < 0.001) and 6th month (R Sq = 0.990 p < 0.001) and there was a close to ideal linear (R Sq = 1) relationship between two methods. CONCLUSIONS: In eyes with toric IOL implantation, the IOL axis and IOL rotation according to target IOL axis can be detected easily and effectively in a short time by OPD scan internal astigmatism axis without the need to dilate the pupil.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the influence of decentration of plate-haptic toric intraocular lens (IOLs) on visual quality. METHODS: This study enrolled 78 eyes of 78 patients. Patients in group A were implanted with toric IOLs, and patients in group B were implanted with monofocal IOLs. All patients were divided into group A1 and B1 (decentration below 0.3 mm) and group A2 and B2 (decentration above 0.3 mm). The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff), objective scatter index (OSI), strehl ratio (SR), optical interference and patients' satisfaction were measured in different pupils at three months postoperatively. The associations between decentration and visual quality were analyzed by Spearman correlation. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in UDVA, BCVA, MTF cutoff, OSI, SR, optical interference and patients' satisfaction among subgroups. The differences in decentration between groups A and B were not statistically significant. In group A2, the total higher order aberrations (tHOAs) at pupil sizes of 3 mm (P = 0.046), 5 mm (P = 0.014), spherical aberrations at pupil sizes of 3 mm (P = 0.011), 4 mm (P = 0.014), 5 mm (P = 0.000), secondary astigmatism at pupil sizes of 3 mm (P = 0.002), 4 mm (P = 0.005) were higher than in group B2. Compared to group A1, group A2 had higher spherical aberrations at pupil sizes of 4 mm (P = 0.042), 5 mm (P = 0.001), 6 mm (P = 0.038), secondary astigmatism at pupil sizes of 3 mm (P = 0.013), 4 mm (P = 0.005), 6 mm (P = 0.013). Group B2 has higher coma and secondary astigmatism than group B1 at 6-mm pupil (P = 0.014, P = 0.045). Significant positive correlations were found between spherical aberrations and the decentration of group A1 and A2 at 6-mm pupils. CONCLUSION: The decentration above 0.3 mm negatively affected visual quality due to increased tHOAs, spherical aberrations, coma and secondary astigmatism aberrations, the influence become larger with increasing pupil diameter. And toric IOLs are more affected by decentration than monofocal IOLs.

PURPOSE: To investigate the advantages/disadvantages of a 1.0 D toric IOL vs spherical IOL after regular phacoemulsification in eyes with preoperative astigmatism ≤ 1 D. METHODS: Retrospective comparative series involving pseudophakic eyes with preoperative topographic astigmatism ≤ 1.0 D implanted either with monofocal 1.0 D Toric IOL (T-group), or with spherical IOL (S-group). The postoperative refractive astigmatism (PRA, i.e. surgically induced + corneal) was the main outcome; also considered in the analyses were the uncorrected and best-corrected distance visual acuity (VA). The data were referred to the last postoperative follow-up visit, 2 to 4 months after surgery. RESULTS: A total of 60 eyes were included: 30 in the T-group and 30 in the S-group, matched for patient's age, laterality, and axial length. Before surgery, the mean corneal astigmatism was 0.62 ± 0.39 D in the T-group and 0.54 ± 0.33 D in the S-group (p = 0.4). In the S-group, PRA was 0.73 ± 0.37 D, higher than the corresponding preoperative corneal astigmatism (p = 0.040). In the T-group, PRA was 0.58 ± 0.31 D; the variation was not statistically significant. Uncorrected VA was significantly better in the T-group vs the S-group (p = 0.007), and the best-corrected VA was comparable in the two groups. CONCLUSION: The present study indicated that in eyes with very low preoperative astigmatism, 1.0 D toric IOLs were able to limit the increase of the PRA instead of those observed with the spherical IOLs. This could support the better uncorrected VA recorded in the T-group.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of the toric intraocular lens (IOL) and capsular tension ring (CTR) suturing technique in eyes with long axial length (AL) with a high risk of toric IOL rotation. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational case series. The data files of patients who underwent a one-piece acrylic toric IOL (Tecnis Toric IOL and Acrysof IQ Toric IOL) implantation with the toric IOL and CTR suturing technique for cataract and astigmatism or toric IOL repositioning were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were a regular total corneal astigmatism of ≥ 1.5 D and an AL of ≥ 26.0 mm. Preoperative and postoperative astigmatism, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), IOL rotation, intraoperative, and postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 30 eyes of 29 patients were included in this study. The mean AL was 27.82 ± 1.53 mm (range, 26.08-31.07). UDVA revealed a statistically significant improvement from 0.84 ± 0.20 logMAR preoperatively to 0.04 ± 0.06 logMAR postoperatively (p < 0.001). The mean preoperative corneal astigmatism was 3.08 ± 1.01 D reduced to the postoperative residual astigmatism of 0.59 ± 0.32 D which was found also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Only 2 eyes (6.2%) had postoperative toric IOL rotation of 5° and 10°, respectively. The mean degree of postoperative rotation was 0.50 ± 2.01. CONCLUSION: This technique provided excellent rotational stability even in eyes with longer AL and did not require additional intervention.

BACKGROUND: Though Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRI) were used widely to correct pre-existing corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery, they have been replaced recently with the more expensive methods like the use of toric Intra Ocular Lenses (IOL) and femtosecond during cataract surgery. We conducted our study to re-evaluate the role of (LRI) in correcting pre-existing moderate corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery in settings where other options are neither available nor affordable. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all consecutive cases of LRI performed by a single surgeon at the time of cataract surgery to correct moderate corneal astigmatism (1.5-3D) in a community hospital over a period of 6 months. Corneal astigmatism, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and best corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were recorded pre-operatively, 4 weeks and 3 months post-operatively. Data on age, intraocular lens (IOL) power, predictive refraction and post-operative spherical equivalent was also collected and analyzed. The number and position of LRI was determined based on the pre-existing corneal astigmatism using online calculator. RESULTS: 29 eyes of 25 patients with the mean age of 73.6 years (range: 46 to 90 years) and corneal astigmatism between 1.5 to 3D were included. Statistically significant reduction in the mean corneal astigmatism was recorded from 2.05 ± 0.45D preoperatively to 0.85 ± 0.56D postoperatively (P < 0.0001). All eyes showed reduction in astigmatism; 83% of eyes had < 1.0D post-operatively and 66% of eyes had < 0.75D. UDVA of 6/9 or better was recorded in 80% of eyes post-operatively (CDVA of 6/9 or better in 100%). The spherical equivalent was within 1.0D of the predictive refraction postoperatively in nearly all eyes (97%) and within 0.5D in 86% of the eyes. There were no peri-operative or post-operative complications were recorded in any case. CONCLUSION: Combining LRI and cataract surgery to address moderate degrees of corneal astigmatism is a safe, reliable and predictable option especially in areas where more expensive methods such as toric IOL or excimer laser are not available or affordable. LRI has no significant effect on the spherical equivalent and is an excellent tool in reducing patient's spectacle dependence.

PURPOSE: To compare the visual outcomes of digital and slit-beam manual marking for toric intraocular lenses (IOL) in cataract surgery. SETTING: Single-center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, China. DESIGN: Retrospective study. METHODS: All patients with cataracts and regular corneal astigmatism greater than 0.75 diopters (D) underwent cataract surgery and astigmatism correction between June 2019 and June 2020. To mark the target axis of the toric IOL and the location of the incision, intraoperative digital marking was used by Callisto eye image-guided system in one group, while preoperative manual slit-beam marking was used in the other group. Uncorrected and best-corrected spectacle visual acuity, refraction, toric IOL axis, total higher order aberrations, coma, spherical aberration, and trefoil were evaluated at 1, 4, and 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: Seventy-two eyes of 58 patients were included. At 3 months after surgery, the mean residual refractive cylinder was 0.42 ± 0.45D in the digital group and 0.39 ± 0.40D in the manual group (P = 0.844). There were no significant differences between groups in spherical equivalent refraction, uncorrected and best-corrected spectacle visual acuity, or the parameters of vector analysis. All toric IOL alignment errors were within 10° of the intended axis, and among them, about 42% of eyes in the digital group and 61% of eyes in the manual group had a rotation of 0-2° (P = 0.038). Trefoil in the manual group decreased postoperatively compared with the digital group (P = 0.012). Other aberration analyses did not reveal any statistical differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Accurate slit-beam manual marking and digital image-guided marking are equally effective for toric IOL alignment.

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) calculations on three modern toric calculators. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study comprised 35 eyes of 35 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation (EnVista Toric). Residual postoperative refractive astigmatism was calculated on three calculators: EnVista Toric Calculator, ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula. Prediction error for each calculator was determined using vector analysis. RESULTS: The mean absolute deviation of predicted postoperative refractive astigmatism over actual astigmatism in diopters was distributed in the following way: 0.82±0.58, 0.70±0.67 and 0.72±0.76 using EnVista Toric Calculator, ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula, respectively. Centroid prediction error was 0.08 (EnVista Toric Calculator), 0.06 (ASSORT) and 0.10 (Kane formula). There was a significantly smaller deviation using ASSORT and the Kane formula compared to the online calculator (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Toric calculators ASSORT Toric IOL Calculator and the Kane formula showed higher accuracy of toric IOL calculation than EnVista Toric Calculator.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the visual and refractive outcomes of total keratometry (TK) versus anterior keratometry (AK) measurements of the IOLMaster 700® (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) in surgery for age-related cataract with preexisting corneal astigmatism. METHODS: Monocentric retrospective comparative study. The IOLMaster 700® biometer was used in the 2 groups: in AK mode (AK group) and in TK mode (TK group), for toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 MP) calculation with ZCALC®, Zeiss toric IOL calculator. A 2:1 matching was made between the AK and TK groups. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), the correction index and the error in predicted residual astigmatism were analyzed 1 month postoperatively using the vector analysis by the Alpins method. RESULTS: The whole cohort included 405 eyes distributed as follows after 2:1 matching: 158 eyes in the AK group and 79 eyes in the TK group. The mean UDVA was similar in both groups (0.07 ± 0.10 LogMAR; p = 0.587). No significant difference in mean absolute error in predicted residual astigmatism (0.37 ± 0.33 D versus 0.35 ± 0.26 D; p = 0.545) and in mean centroid error in predicted residual astigmatism (0.19 ± 0.49 at 3° and 0.06 ± 0.46 at 0°; p = 0.008 and 0.161 respectively for the x- and y-components) was found between the AK and TK groups. CONCLUSION: TK of the IOLMaster 700® gives excellent refractive and visual outcomes, comparable to those obtained in AK mode, without showing its superiority for corneas with regular astigmatism.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the clinical results of toric intraocular lens (IOL) and monofocal IOL implantation when the target refraction value is -3 diopter (D) in cataract patients with corneal astigmatism > 1.5 diopters (D). METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review for patients with corneal astigmatism > 1.5D who underwent cataract surgery and their target refraction is -3D. 100 eyes (100 patients; monofocal IOL, 60; toric IOL, 40) were enrolled in the current study. Near and distant uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), corrected VA, spherical equivalent and refractive, corneal astigmatism were evaluated before and after surgery. RESULTS: The near UCVA of the toric IOL group (0.26 ± 0.33) after cataract surgery was significantly better than that of the monofocal IOL group (0.48 ± 0.32) (p = 0.030). The distant UCVA of the toric IOL group (0.38 ± 0.14) was also significantly better than that of the monofocal IOL group (0.55 ± 0.22) (p = 0.026). Best-corrected visual acuity (p = 0.710) and mean spherical equivalent (p = 0.465) did not show significant differences between the toric IOL group and the monofocal IOL group. In the toric IOL group, postoperative refractive astigmatism was - 0.80 ± 0.46D and postoperative corneal astigmatism was - 1.50 ± 0.62D, whereas the corresponding values in the monofocal IOL group were - 1.65 ± 0.77D and - 1.45 ± 0.64D; residual refractive astigmatism was significantly lower with toric IOL implantation compared with monofocal IOL implantation (p = 0.001). There were no postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: When myopic refraction such as -3D was determined as the target power in patients with corneal astigmatism, toric IOL implantation led to excellent improvement in both near and distant UCVA.

PURPOSE: To compare the visual outcomes, predictability and rotational stability following implantation of Eyecryl toric versus TECNIS toric intraocular lenses. METHODS: This retrospective study included 100 eyes of 78 eligible patients who underwent phacoemulsification followed by implantation of either Eyecryl Toric IOL or TECNIS Toric IOL (n = 50 eyes in each group), using an intraoperative image-guided marker less system. All toric IOL implantations were performed under balanced salt solution. At 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), spherical equivalent refraction, residual astigmatism, and rotational stability of the toric IOL was evaluated and compared. Rotational stability was assessed using ray tracing. RESULTS: Mean age of the participants was 67.8 ± 9.26 years in Eyecryl toric group and 64 ± 11 years in TECNIS toric group. The mean pre-op corneal astigmatism was 1.75 ± 0.62 D and 2.00 ± 0.71 D in the Eyecryl and TECNIS group, respectively (p = 0.07). At 2 weeks and at 6 months post-op, there was no statistically significant difference between the UDVA, CDVA, and residual astigmatism between the two groups (p < 0.05). Mean post-operative toric IOL rotation was 3.94 ± 2.27 degrees in the Eyecryl Toric group, and 4.44 ± 2.77 degrees, in the TECNIS Toric group, respectively, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.32). One IOL in the Eyecryl group and two IOLs in the TECNIS group required re-positioning for significant post-op rotation at 1 week post-op. CONCLUSION: At 6 months, both Eyecryl toric and TECNIS toric IOLs showed comparable post-operative outcomes in terms of UDVA, CDVA, residual astigmatism and rotational stability.

BACKGROUND: A major focus of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the rotational stability, especially in the patients with long axial length (AL). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes after implantation of TECNIS toric IOL in eyes with long AL and identify factors influencing their early-stage stability with preoperative corneal astigmatism. METHODS: The study population consisted of 64 eyes from 52 cataract patients, and these patients had preoperative corneal astigmatism between 1.0 and 3.7 diopters (D) and underwent phacoemulsification and TECNIS toric IOL implantation. Ophthalmic biological measurements were carried out preoperatively, including AL, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous length (VL), anterior chamber volume (ACV), sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) and keratometric value (K). Clinical examinations, including visual acuity, manifest refraction, keratometry, digital anterior segment photographs with pupillary dilation, were performed at 1 and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS: The mean best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) was improved from 0.93 ± 0.35 logarithms of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) preoperatively to 0.07 ± 0.10 logMAR postoperatively at 3 months after surgery. The mean residual astigmatism (RAS) was 0.91 ± 0.74D at 3 months, which was significantly decreased compared with the preoperative corneal astigmatism of 1.71 ± 0.55 D. The mean absolute rotation of TECNIS toric IOL at 1 and 3 months was 7.42 ± 11.32 degree (°) (0-79°) and 7.48 ± 11.19°(0-79°), respectively. The mean area of capsulorhexis and the overlapped area between capsulorhexis and IOL optic intraoperatively was 21.04 ± 3.30 mm2 and 7.40 ± 2.87 mm2.A positive correlation was found between IOL rotation and the area of capsulorhexis (p = 0.017) at 3 months after surgery. No correlation was found between IOL rotation and AL (p = 0.876), ACD (p = 0.387), LT (p = 0.523), VL (p = 0.546), ACV (p = 0.480), STS (p = 0.884), K1 (p = 0.429), K2 (p = 0.644), average of K1 and K2 (p = 0.520), intraoperative IOL axial direction (p = 0.396), preoperative corneal astigmatism (p = 0.269) or the overlapped area between capsulorhexis and IOL optic intraoperatively (p = 0.131) . CONCLUSIONS: The large CCC was a risk factor for toric IOL rotation. An appropriately smaller sized CCC was conducive to increase the rotational stability of TECNIS toric IOL implantation in cataract cases with long AL.

PURPOSE: To report the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of Ankoris monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) (PhysIOL SA, Liège, Belgium) using the Zeiss Callisto Eye (Carl Zeiss AG, Dublin, CA). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective case series of patients who underwent routine cataract extraction and implantation of Ankoris toric IOL using the Zeiss Callisto eye between January 2018 and December 2018 by four senior surgeons. Patients' medical records were reviewed, and clinical outcomes including postoperative refraction, visual acuity outcomes, IOL position and deviation from planned axis were collected. RESULTS: Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients were included, 48% were female, and the mean age was 70 ± 8 years. Patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, glaucoma or keratoconus were excluded from the study. Pre-operative mean corneal astigmatism was 2.38 ± 0.78 diopters (D), and mean implanted IOL cylindrical power was 3.06 ± 1.07 D. IOL rotation 30 days postoperatively was within 5° in 82% of eyes and between 6° and 10° in 10.8% of eyes. Mean postoperative refractive astigmatism 30 days postoperatively was 0.22 ± 0.36 D; in 84% of eyes the postoperative refractive astigmatism was ≤ 0.50 D. IOL rotation significantly increased between day 1 to day 7 postoperatively (1.91 ± 3.15° to 3.18 ± 3.3°, P = 0.001). However, no significant rotation had occurred between day 7 and day 30 postoperatively (P = 0.093). CONCLUSION: Cataract surgery with implantation of Ankoris monofocal toric IOL using the Zeiss Callisto Eye marking system is predictable and effective in reducing refractive astigmatism.

PURPOSE: To compare a new no-touch alignment technique for toric intraocular lenses (IOL) with the conventional technique that uses a manual pendulum. METHODS: In this retrospective case-control study, patients who underwent toric IOL implantation using two different alignment techniques (digital Callisto® system vs. manual-pendulum-based marking) were compared in a vector analysis using the Alpins method and an analysis of variance regarding corrected and uncorrected visual acuity and the deviation of the achieved IOL axis from the targeted axis. RESULTS: Sixty-one eyes were included into analysis. Thirty-six of these surgeries were performed via the Callisto® system and 25 eyes via pendulum-based corneal markings. Median IOL axis misalignment was 3° in both groups. Median uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.097 logMAR versus 0.200. Median best-corrected visual acuity was 0.000 logMAR versus 0.097. All these data were below the range of statistical significance (p > 0.05). Vector analysis showed no significant difference for TIA [median of 3.14 diopters (D) vs. 2.73 D], SIA (median of 3.82 D vs. 3.79 D), DV (1.18 D vs. 1.08 D), and CI (1.23 vs. 1.29). Median angle of error was 1.96° versus - 0.44° (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We found no significant difference in the refractive results, the IOL positioning, and the best-corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity between the two compared methods. Nevertheless, the Callisto® IOL alignment system delivers a standardized and easy-to-use technology. In particular, less-experienced surgeons might benefit from this marking technique.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation of the corneal ink mark size, shape, and location with the corneal perimeter in terms of the corresponding corneal axis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was designed both prospective experimental and literature search. Contact lenses were used to demonstrate the spreading effect of the surgical ink mark. Open-access published corneal images with corneal ink marks were reviewed. Mark size and perimeter of both contact lenses and corneal images were performed in Image J software. RESULTS: Twenty contact lenses and 15 corneal images with 32 corneal marks, which were obtained from the literature, were included in the study. Mean degree corresponding to the ink size for the group 1 was 8.3° ± 1.2° (range 5.5-10.3), for group 2 was 11° ± 1.1° (range 8-12), for group 3 was 4.2° ± 0.7° (range 3.2-5.5), for group 4 was 4.2° ± 0.7° (range 3.2-5.5), and for group 5 was 6.3° ± 2.5° (range 2-11.5). DISCUSSION: Theoretically, it is wise to target further located ink mark from central cornea based on the 360/2π × (r2 - r1)/(r1 × r2) × M formula. It has been experimentally shown that the smaller corneal perimeter and closer mark to the central cornea may lead the more significant deviation from the targeted axis. Preoperative manual corneal marking may be more responsible for residual astigmatism than it is thought.

PURPOSE: To determine corneal astigmatism prevalence, its correlations with age and symmetry pattern in fellow eyes of patients undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS: This is a clinical-based retrospective cross-sectional study. Keratometry measurements of patients undergoing cataract surgery assigned to University Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, between January 2011 and June 2012 were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The study consisted of 4080 eyes of 2205 consecutive cataract surgery patients with a mean age of 68.24 years ± 9.25 (SD) (range 32-84 years), and 54.0% of the patients were women. Mean corneal astigmatism was 0.72 ± 0.61 D (range 0-6.5 D). The prevalence of corneal astigmatism 1.0 D or more was in 1291 eyes (31.64%), 1.5 D or more in 736 eyes (18.03%), 2.0 D or more in 396 eyes (9.71%) and 3.0 D or more in 108 eyes (2.65%). There was no significant difference in the magnitude of astigmatism between age groups (p = 0.10), male and female (p = 0.29) or right and left (p = 0.75) eyes. The prevalence and amount of astigmatism increased with age (p < 0.05). Gradual shift from with-the-rule astigmatism toward against-the-rule astigmatism was observed (p = 0.03). Patients with higher amount of astigmatism in one eye are more likely to have significant astigmatism in fellow eye (p < 0.01). Symmetry in pairs of eyes is present in eyes with astigmatism greater than 2.5 D (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: This study provides useful reference data for cataract surgeons and patients from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

BACKGROUND: With increasing availability of toric intraocular lenses (IOL) for cataract surgery, real-world refractive outcome data is needed to aid the counselling of patients regarding lens choice. We aim to assess the outcomes of toric intraocular lens use in the non-specialist environment of a typical United Kingdom NHS cataract service. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study conducted at the Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, UK. All patients who received a toric IOL implant over a 10 months period. Patients underwent pre-operative corneal marking, phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation. Biometry was obtained using a Zeiss IOLMaster 500 and the toric IOLs were selected using the manufacturers' online calculators. Post-operative refractions were obtained from optometrist's manifest refraction or by autorefraction. The outcome measures were post-operative unaided visual acuity (UVA), spherical equivalent refraction, cylindrical correction and all complications. RESULTS: Thirty-two eyes of 24 patients aged 21-86 years (mean 66.4, SD 14.5) were included. UVA was superior to pre-operative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in 81% of eyes, same in 16% and inferior in 3%, resulting in a median improvement of 0.20 LogMAR (IQR 0.10 to 0.30). 56%, 81%, 94% and 100% of eyes were within ±0.5, ±1.0, ±1.5 and ±2.0 D of predicted spherical equivalent, respectively. Three (9%) eyes required further surgery to rectify significant IOL rotation. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced cylindrical correction and improved UVA could be expected in the majority of patients undergoing toric IOL implantation. Patients should be counselled about the risk of lens rotation.

Purpose We describe a scleral suture fixation technique for dislocated plate haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Materials and methods A double-armed 10-0 straight polypropylene suture was passed into the eye from the sclera (2 mm away from the limbus). A suture needle was passed through the hole on the corner of the IOL and pulled out from the paracentesis with a 27-gauge needle. Afterward, the suture needle was reinserted from the same paracentesis and then removed from the eye with the help of a 27-gauge needle entering the eye from a nearby point to the first scleral entrance. The needle was passed through the end of the loop and pulled slightly to initiate the formation of a cow-hitch knot. The same procedure was applied to the other hole on the plate haptic. Both sutures were adjusted and fixed to the sclera with a Z suture. Results No complications were observed and at the follow-up visits, uncorrected visual acuity was 0.8 with decimal. Conclusion Axial, sagittal, and rotational stability rules are taken into consideration, scleral fixation surgery for a dislocated plate haptic foldable toric IOL is an alternative method to eliminate astigmatic refractive error.
