AcrySof Toric IOL Design Characteristics • AcrySof Single-Piece platform • Open loop, modified-L haptics • Posterior toricity • Toric axis marks
Purpose • To report visual outcomes of astigmatic patients implanted with a toric IOL • To compare their satisfaction and spectacle freedom to a standard monofocal IOL group
Methods Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria • Retrospective chart review • IOL groups were age, gender, preoperative manifest cylinder, manual cylinder and topographic cylinder matched for comparison • Keratorefractive surgery before or after lens extraction and IOL implantation • Any pre or postoperative pathology that could affect visual outcome • Any postoperative complication • Monovision • Other ocular surgery at the time of the cataract extraction • Uneventful routine lens extraction between Aug 06 and Aug 08 • IOL Implanted • Toric (AcrysofToric IOL, SN60T3) • Monofocal (Acrysof IQ, SN60WF) • Follow-up at least 3 weeks post-surgery
Assessments • Uncorrected visual acuity • Residual astigmatism • Patient satisfaction and spectacle freedom survey • Bilateral implantation of the same IOL
Results • A total of 547 medical records were reviewed • 104 eyes of 80 subjects met inclusion/exclusion criteria and were included for analysis
Preoperative Data † Wilcoxon test * Fisher’s Exact test
Mean Manifest Cylinder Cylinder (Diopters)
Conclusion • UCVA in the toric IOL group was as good as the BCVA in the monofocal IOL group. • Although sample size of subjects who answer the survey is small there is a trend that shows higher satisfaction in the toric group. • Toric IOL is an alternative to patients who wants distance spectacle independence.
