Clinical differences between toric intraocular lens (IOL) and monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation when myopia is determined as target refraction

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the clinical results toric intraocular lens (IOL) monofocal IOL implantation when target refraction value -3 diopter (D) in cataract patients with corneal astigmatism > 1.5 diopters (D). Methods We performed a retrospective chart review for 1.5D who underwent surgery their -3D. 100 eyes (100 patients; IOL, 60; 40) were enrolled current study. Near distant uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), corrected VA, spherical equivalent refractive, evaluated before after surgery. Results near UCVA group (0.26 ± 0.33) was significantly better than that (0.48 0.32) ( p = 0.030). (0.38 0.14) also (0.55 0.22) 0.026). Best-corrected 0.710) mean 0.465) did not show significant differences between group. In group, postoperative refractive − 0.80 0.46D 1.50 0.62D, whereas corresponding values 1.65 0.77D 1.45 0.64D; residual lower compared 0.001). There no complications. Conclusions When myopic such as -3D determined power astigmatism, led excellent improvement both UCVA.
