purpose : the objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of acrysof toric intraocular lenses (iols) implantation in cataract surgery for the correction of regular corneal astigmatism. methods : twenty eyes of 16 patients with cataract and regular corneal astigmatism of 1.00-4.00 diopter (d) underwent surgery. depending on the amount of corneal astigmatism, an acrysof toric iol of type ...

PURPOSE To analyze intraocular lens (IOL) orientation data from an online toric back-calculator (astigmatismfix.com) for determining if differences were apparent by lens type. METHODS A retrospective review of astigmatismfix.com toric back-calculations that included IOL identification and intended orientation axis. RESULTS Of 12,812 total validated calculation records, 8,229 included intend...

BACKGROUND To use a Monte Carlo simulation to predict postoperative results with the AcrySof Toric lens, evaluating the likelihood of over- or under-correction using various toric lens selection criteria. METHODS Keratometric data were obtained from a large patient population with preoperative corneal astigmatism <= 2.50D (2,000 eyes). The probability distributions for toric marking accuracy,...

BACKGROUND The expectations of post-removal cataract surgery patients are extremely high, and best vision acuity is expected. The best refractive results are influenced by two factors - cataract surgical removal and the corneal astigmatism correction. Currently, the two most often applied corneal astigmatism removal methods are laser surgery and toric intraocular lens implantation, with the lat...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the rotational stability of the three types of AcrySof SA60TT toric intraocular lenses (Alcon, Switzerland) in cataract surgery after the first postoperative week. METHODS A retrospective study of 44 eyes in 33 patients. All patients underwent similar uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Seven eyes with corneal astigmatism of less than 1.5 D were implante...

This is a case report of a 45-year-old anisometropic woman with stage 2 keratoconus submitted to refractive lens exchange employing SN60T5 AcrySof Toric intraocluar lens on her left eye. Phacoemulsification followed by proper lens implantation was accomplished successfully. On postoperative period, favorable refractive and visual outcomes were obtained. The use of toric intraocular lenses may b...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of AcrySof toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) implantation to correct preexisting astigmatism in patients having cataract surgery. SETTING Ophthalmology Service, Donostia Hospital, San Sebastián, Spain. METHODS This prospective observational study included 30 eyes of 15 consecutive patients with more than 1.00 diopter (D) of preexisting corneal astigmatism ...

AIM To analyze the optical quality after implantation of toric intraocular lens with optical quality analysis system. METHODS Fifty-two eyes of forty-four patients with regular corneal astigmatism of at least 1.00 D underwent implantation of AcrySof toric intraocular lens, including T3 group 19 eyes, T4 group 18 eyes, T5 group 10 eyes, T6 group 5 eyes. Main outcomes evaluated at 3mo of follow...

PURPOSE To determine whether the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) value, which is based on measurement of both anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism, is effective for toric intraocular lens (IOL) calculation with AcrySof(®) Toric IOLs. PATIENTS AND METHODS A consecutive series of cataract surgery cases with AcrySof toric IOL implantation was studied retrospectively. The IOLMaster(®)...
