Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate the mid-term clinical outcomes and rotational stability of the Z-Flex 690TAY toric intraocular lens (T-IOL) to correct pre-existing astigmatism in cataract patients.

Setting:

Péterfy Sándor Hospital, Budapest, Hungary

Methods:

Phacoemulsification with implantation of the hydrophilic acrylic Z-Flex 690TAY T-IOL (Medicontur) was performed by a single surgeon in cataract patients with corneal astigmatism. There was a congenital astigmatism on 113 eyes, and the astigmatism had another origin on 12 eyes. Amblyopia was revealed on 26 eyes. The prospective follow-up was up to 6 months.

Results:

This study involved 125 eyes of 89 patients with a mean age of 68.0 years ± 7.2 (SD). The mean corneal cylinder was 2.89 D±2.75 preoperatively, while the mean refractive cylinder was 0.65 D±0.56 at 6 months postoperatively. The mean uncorrected distant visual acuity was 0.56 ±0.22 at 1-day, 0.66 ±0.20 at 1-week and 0.64 ±0.25 at 1-month, and 0.62 ±0.27 at 6-month-control. Rotation of more than 5 degrees was in 3 eyes (2.4%) two of them had an axial length of more than 26.0 mm. All of them were evaluated on the 1-day-control.

Conclusions:

The Z-Flex 690TAY T-IOL was effective in reducing pre-existing corneal astigmatism and had an overall good rotational stability. In our experience this type of T-IOL can rotate only in the very early postoperative period, and the rotation occurs mostly on highly myopic eyes.
