Abstract Details

Purpose:

To report 6 cases in which a toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was used in patients with stable ectatic corneas.

Setting:

National Eye Hospital

Methods:

This prospective study included six cases of postlasik ectasia or keratoconus stable for one year, implanted with Toric Acrysof SN60TT IOLs. Age, pre- and postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), objective and subjective refraction, total astigmatism and toric IOL rotation were analyzed. Postoperative follow up were 9 months.

Results:

Mean age was 38.3 ± 6.8 years. There was significant improvement in mean postoperative UDVA and CDVA with a mean difference 0.17 ± 0.10 (P = 0.01) and 0.20 ± 0.09 (P = 0.00) respectively. There was significant decrease in mean postoperative refractive cylinder with a mean difference 1.75 ± 1.70 (P = 0.05). The mean postoperative IOL rotation was 6.6 ± 4.7 degrees.

Conclusions:

Toric IOLs implantation can be used to correct astigmatism in stable ectatic corneas. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
