Abstract Details

Purpose:

To investigate visual and refractive outcomes and refractive predictability with the monofocal toric ANKORIS IOL.

Setting:

Hospital Privado da Boa Nova, Department of Opthalmology, Porto, Portugal

Methods:

Patients with cataract and significant cylinder between 1.75D and 4.5D (mean: 2.91±0.84D) were consecutively enrolled to undergo cataract surgery with implantation of the toric monofocal Ankoris IOL (PhysIOL SA, Liège, Belgium). Visual and refractive outcomes were analysed 3 months after surgery. Centroids of postoperative cylinder and prediction error were determined.

Results:

The mean age of the 8 patients (14 eyes) was 69.8±9.1 years. CDVA was 0.0 logMAR or better in all eyes, except for one eye with preoperative anisometropia and amblyopia. A total of 57.1% and 92.9% of the eyes reached a UDVA of 0.0 logMAR or better and 0.1 or better, respectively. Mean CDVA and UDVA were 0.02±0.06 and 0.04±0.06, respectively. Mean postoperative spherical equivalent was -0.04±0.44D and 86% of the eyes were within ±0.5D of the targeted refraction. A total of 57.1% and 92.9% of the eyes reached a cylinder ≤0.5D and ≤1.0D, respectively, with a centroid of 0.23D@121°.

Conclusions:

The toric monofocal ANKORIS IOL provides excellent visual outcomes with a good refractive predictability. The excellent UDVA results confirm the suitability of the IOL constants and the toric calculator provided by the manufacturer.
