Purpose:
To evaluate the efficacy and predictability of a toric intraocular lens (IOL), the AMO ZCT model, in cataract surgery for patients with corneal astigmatism
Setting:
Hospital Universitario Quiron Madrid.
Department of Ophthalmology
Methods:
This prospective study evaluated 50 eyes of 35 patients with cataract and a range of astigmatism between 0.75 and 3 diopters (D) that underwent microcoaxial phacoemulsification (2.2 mm incision) cataract surgery and toric implantation. Pre and 1-month and 6-month postoperative uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA, respectively), refractive cylindrical error, IOL misalignment,keratometric and topographic cylinder were analyzed.
Results:
Pre and 6-month postoperative logMAR UDVA were 0,82 ± 0.46 and 0.08 ± 0.26 respectively. Pre and 6-month postoperative logMAR CDVA were 0,27 ± 0.29 and 0.04 ± 0.26 respectively. Mean preoperative refractive cylindrical error was 1.94 ± 0.72 D (range 0.75 3.5 D) and 6-month postoperative refractive cylindrical error was 0.31 ± 0.32 D (range 0 -1 D). The mean IOL misalignment was 3.1 ± 3.29 degrees. The mean SIA was -0.30 ± 0.42 degrees
Conclusions:
Implantation of the ZCT toric IOL during cataract surgery was safe and effective in correcting corneal astigmatism. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
