Abstract Details

Purpose:

To investigate refractive and visual outcomes as well as rotational stability following implantation of Eyecryl toric phakic IOL (pIOL) for moderate to high myopic astigmatism

Setting:

Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Science, ISTANBUL, TURKEY

Methods:

The efficacy, safety, predictability, stability, vector analysis and adverse events of Eyecryl toric pIOL were evaluated in patients with spherical refraction from -4.50 to -17.00 diopters (D) and cylindrical refraction from -0.50 to -5.50D.

Results:

This study included 60 eyes of 31 patients. The mean manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) dropped from -10.55±2.97D preoperatively to -0.43±0.59D at 12 months postoperatively. At the last visit, all eyes except 1 eye were within ±2.00D of the desired MRSE, and number of eyes within ±1.00D and ±0.50D were 51 (85%) and 41 (68.33%), respectively. The efficacy index was 1.20±0.32, the safety index was 1.36±0.43 at 12 months postoperatively. By the last follow-up, while only 1 eye (1.6%) had lost 1 line of CDVA, 46.5% of eyes had gained at least 1 line of CDVA.

Conclusions:

The Eyecryl toric pIOL demonstrated relatively a good visual acuity and refractive results regarding the efficacy index and the safety index. Its rotational stability was found be similar to other PC pIOLs.
