Abstract Details

Purpose:

To evaluate refractive outcomes, rotational stability and safety of lens exchange with customized AT TORBI 709M/MP (Carl Zeiss) IOL in eyes previously underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), radial keratotomy (RK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the eyes with induced astigmatism.

Setting:

“Blue Eye” Centro di Chirurgia Oculare, Milano, Italy, “International Center for Ophthalmology”, Moscow, Russia

Methods:

Phacoemulsification cataract extraction and implantation of an AT Torbi 709M IOL were performed. The uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, corneal cylinder, refraction, and IOL axis were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively up to 38 months.

Results:

The study enrolled 13 eyes of 12 patients (mean age-41,5 years ± 6,4). Myopia was an initial diagnosis in 8 eyes of 7 patients (PRK was performed in 3 eyes, RK – in 5 eyes). 2 post-RK eyes underwent PKP. PKP was performed in 5 eyes with keratoconus. The mean SE decreased from -1.02±3.29 D to-0.78±1.80D (P<.001). The mean astigmatism decreased from -6.48 ± 3.99 D to -2.58 ± 2.53 D (P<.001). The mean UDVA improved from 1.12± 0.44 logMAR to 0.31 ± 0.22 logMAR and in the mean CDVA from 0.4 ± 0.19 logMAR to 0.11 ± 0.04 logMAR (both P<.001). No intra- or postoperative surgical complications were observed.

Conclusions:

Lens Exchange for customized toric AT TORBI 709M/MP (Carl Zeiss) IOL is rotationally stable and shows excellent capsule bag performance and refractive outcomes.
