Purpose:
To report the outcome of cataract surgery with implantation of the Z-flex 690TA hydrophilic acrylic toric IOL (Medicontur, Hungary)
Setting:
Department of Ophthalmology , Assaf Harofeh Medical Center
Methods:
This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients who had 1.75 diopters (D) or more of preexisting corneal astigmatism. Patients had cataract extraction surgery with implantation of a Z-flex 690TA toric IOL (Medicontur, Hungary). Refractive outcomes, keratometry, residual refractive cylinder, surgically (SIA) and target (TIA) induced astigmatism, correction ratio (CR), and error of magnitude (EM) were evaluated
Results:
Nineteen eyes of 13 patients were evaluated. The mean follow-up time was 4.29 ± 2.32 month. The mean preoperative keratometric astigmatism was 3.05 ± 0.74 D. The mean postoperative deviation from the anticipated spherical equivalent was +0.23 ± 0.39 D, with 100% of eyes achieving a spherical equivalent within ±1.00 D of the target refraction. The mean deviation from the anticipated refractive cylinder was -0.46 ±0.47 D. The mean IOL misalignment was 5.67 ± 6.45 degrees. The mean CR was 1.02 ± 0.22, and the mean EM was -0.09 ± 0.55 D
Conclusions:
The Z-flex 690TA hydrophilic acrylic toric IOL implantation was safe, effective and predictable in correcting corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
