Clinical efficacy of Toric intraocular lens implantation for cataract patients with corneal astigmatism

Abstract

AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Toric intraocular lens(IOL)implantation for cataract patients with corneal astigmatism.METHODS: Thirty-eight patients(46 eyes)with corneal astigmatism undergone phacoemulsification and IOL implantation in our hospital from June 2013 to July 2014 were observed. Twenty cases(24 eyes)received Toric IOL, 18 cases(22 eyes)got Acrysof IQ IOL. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was analyzed.RESULTS:The difference on visual acuity after surgery between the two groups was statistically significant(F=5.783, PPt=5.248, 2.573, 2.782; all PF=5.482, PPt=6.591, 3.287, 2.167; all PCONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification associated with Toric IOL implantation has good correction effect and prediction for cataract and corneal astigmatism patients, and can improve the visual activity significantly, so it is worthy of clinical application.
