Efficacy observation of Toric intraocular lens in correcting corneal astigmatism and vector analysis of residual astigmatism

Abstract

AIM: To observe the clinical effect of Toric intraocular lens(Toric IOL)implantation in the correction of corneal astigmatism, and vector analysis of residual astigmatism and corneal astigmatism.METHODS: A retrospective case observation study. A total of 63 patients with 77 eyes who underwent phacoemulsification combined with Toric IOL implantation in our hospital from September 2018 to October 2019 were selected. LogMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), residual astigmatism of subjective refraction were observed after operation in 1wk, 1mo, and 3mo. And after dilated pupil, the Toric IOL axis position was measured by OPD-scanⅢ, and compared with the target axis position(LAD).RESULTS: The median(interquartile range)of UCDVA at 1wk, 1mo, and 3mo after operation were 0.22(0.15, 0.40), 0.30(0.15,0.40),and 0.30(0.15, 0.40), which were better than those of UCDVA \〖0.82(0.60, 1.22)\〗 and BCDVA \〖0.52(0.30, 0.70)\〗 before operation(PPCONCLUSION: Toric IOL can effectively correct corneal astigmatism in patients with cataract and has good rotational stability. Astigmatism vector analysis can directly show the difference between predicting postoperative astigmatism and actual residual astigmatism, which is helpful to analyze and optimize the measurement of corneal astigmatism, calculation of IOL degree, surgical design, postoperative observation.
