Effect of toric intraocular lens implantation on visual acuity and astigmatism status in eyes treated with microhook ab interno trabeculotomy
Journal of Glaucoma Jan 17, 2021
Ichioka S, Manabe K, Tsutsui A, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to evaluate the effectiveness of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in combined cataract and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), visual and refractive outcomes were contrasted between eyes implanted with nontoric and toric IOLs during microhook ab interno trabeculotomy triple procedures. Glaucomatous eyes with preexisting corneal astigmatism exceeding −1.5 D implanted with nontoric (n = 10) or toric (n = 10) IOLs were assessed retrospectively. Vector analyses revealed the postoperative centroid magnitude of refractive astigmatism was less in the toric group than the nontoric group. Surgically induced astigmatism and intraocular pressure reduction did not vary between groups. When a combined MIGS/cataract surgery is conducted in eyes with corneal astigmatism, improved visual outcomes can be achieved with toric IOLs.
