Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate the refractive and the quality of vision outcomes of toric IOL implantation in patients with low astigmatism.
Design.
Prospective study of single-arm.
Methods.
Patients with corneal astigmatism range from 0,75 D to 1,5 D and cataract that underwent cataract surgery with toric IOL.
The measurements were performed preoperatively and 6 weeks after the surgery.
Patients were evaluated for visual acuity with and without correction, contrast sensitivity, static and dynamic refraction, and quality of life questionnaire.
Pre- and postoperative values were compared and their variations were evaluated for linear correlation.
Results.
21 eyes of 21 patients.
Postoperative mean uncorrected visual acuity was 0.80±0.19, and the best corrected visual acuity was 0.97±0.15.
p<0.001 compared to preoperative values.
The average postoperative refractive cylinder was -0.34±0.39.
The questionnaire’s total value before and after surgery was, respectively, 43.20±15.76 and 79.70±10.11 (p<0.001).
The correlation coefficients between the values of the questionnaire variation and the UCVA, BCVA, and CS variation were, respectively, 0.548 (p=0.005), 0.508 (p=0.009), and 0.409 (p=0.033).
Conclusion.
Patients with low astigmatism who underwent phacoemulsification with toric IOL implantation experienced significant decrease in refractive astigmatism and improvement in their quality of life.
