Objective: To compare the clinical results obtained with a toric intraocular lens (IOL) and non-toric IOL in eyes with corneal astigmatism.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included eyes with corneal astigmatism ranging from 0.75 diopter (D) to 3.00 D that were implanted with a toric IOL and a non-toric IOL. Non-toric IOLs were implanted before toric IOLs were approved, and the eyes were divided into three groups (T3, T4, or T5) depending on the preoperative degree of corneal astigmatism. Residual refractive cylinder, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and contrast sensitivity were compared more than 1 year after implantation.
Results: The toric group included 149 eyes (mean patient age, 73.7 ± 7.9 years standard deviation, SD) and the non-toric group included 121 eyes (mean patient age, 76.2 .. View More»
