Project description:BackgroundThis retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of toric implantable collamer lens (TICL) surgery with those of implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation combined with limbal relaxing incision (LRI) in patients with low myopia and astigmatism.MethodsA total of 40 eyes of 28 patients who underwent TICL implantation and 40 eyes of 27 patients who underwent ICL implantation combined with manually LRI between 2021 and 2022 were included. Primary outcomes were manifest sphere and cylinder, intraocular pressure, visual acuity, and astigmatism parameters at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.ResultsThe two surgeries showed comparable effects on manifest sphere and cylinder, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity (all p > 0.1). Surgery-induced astigmatism (SIA) was maintained as stable in the TICL group (1.73 to 1.68, p = 0.420), but was significantly reduced in the ICL/LRI group (1.74 to 1.17, p = 0.001) from preoperative to postoperative 6 months. The TICL group displayed significantly higher SIA and correction index at postoperative 1, 3, and 6 months than the ICL/LRI group (at 6 months: SIA, 1.68 (1.26, 1.96) vs., 1.17 (1.00, 1.64), p = 0.010; CI: 0.98 (0.78, 1.25) vs. 0.80 (0.61, 1.04), p = 0.018). No complications occurred during follow-up.ConclusionsThe effects of ICL/LRI are comparable to those of TICL in correcting myopia. TICL implantation displays better astigmatism correction than ICL/LRI.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the effect of peripheral corneal relaxing incisions (PCRI) for astigmatism between 0.75 and 2.5 dioptres during cataract surgery on corneal densitometry (CD).MethodsIn this prospective, randomised study, 80 eyes (80 patients), received either tIOL or PCRI. Assessment at pre-operative and 1, 3, 6, 12 months post-operative visit included uncorrected (UCDVA) and best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), spherical equivalent (SEQ) (only post-operatively), mean anterior and posterior keratometric astigmatism (KA) and CD with Schiempflug system. CD was analysed in four concentric radial zones from centre to periphery (Zone 1 to 4) and in 3 layers (anterior, mid-stromal and posterior).ResultsComparing tIOLs vs. PCRIs, there was no significant difference in the UCDVA, BCDVA and SEQ. In PCRI group, anterior KA decreased at 1 month and remained stable thereafter. For zones 1, 2 and 3, CD significantly reduced after 3 months with tIOLs whereas with PCRIs, it reduced 1 month onwards. For zone 4, CD reduced only at 12 months with tIOLs compared to 3 months onwards with PCRIs. In both groups CD was higher in the zone 4 and anterior layer. Significant reduction in CD was found in all three layers of cornea after 3 months in tIOL and after first month in PCRI groups, respectively.ConclusionsCataract surgery alone reduces the CD. Reducing keratometric astigmatism with PCRIs shows significant differences in CD from early post-operative period for central and anterior corneal layer.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the effectiveness of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) for treating corneal astigmatism in patients with cataract and previous deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).SettingSan Giovanni-Addolorata Hospital, Rome, Italy.DesignProspective interventional case series.MethodsPatients undergoing cataract surgery after DALK for keratoconus were enrolled. Total corneal astigmatism (TCA) was assessed by a rotating Scheimpflug camera combined with Placido-disk corneal topography (Sirius; CSO, Firenze, Italy). A customized toric IOL (FIL 611 T, Soleko, Rome, Italy) was implanted in all eyes. One year postoperatively, refraction was measured, the IOL position was recorded, and vectorial and nonvectorial analyses were performed to evaluate the correction of astigmatism.ResultsTen eyes of 10 patients were analyzed. The mean preoperative TCA magnitude was 4.92 ± 1.99 diopters (D), and the mean cylinder of the IOL was 6.18 ± 2.44. After surgery, the difference between the planned axis of orientation of the IOL and the observed axis was ≤10° in all eyes. The mean surgically induced corneal astigmatism was 0.35 D at 20°. The mean postoperative refractive astigmatism power was 1.13 ± 0.94 D; with respect to preoperative TCA, the reduction was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The mean change in astigmatism power was 3.80 ± 1.60 D, corresponding to a correction of 77% of preoperative TCA power. Nine eyes out of 10 had a postoperative refractive astigmatism power ≤ 2D.ConclusionsToric IOLs can effectively correct corneal astigmatism in eyes with previous DALK. The predictability of cylinder correction is partially lowered by the variability of the surgically induced changes of TCA. This trial is registered with NCT03398109.

Project description:PurposeTo examine the long-term changes in the astigmatism-correcting effect of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) after stabilization of surgically induced astigmatic changes due to cataract surgery.MethodsUnilateral eyes of 120 patients that received a toric IOL for against-the-rule (ATR) or with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism were enrolled. Manifest refractive and anterior corneal astigmatism, and ocular residual astigmatism which is mainly derived from internal optics were examined preoperatively, at approximately 2 months postoperatively (baseline) and at 5 ~ 10 years postbaseline. The astigmatism was decomposed to vertical/horizontal (Rx) and oblique components (Ry), which was compared between baseline and 5 ~ 10 years postbaseline.ResultsIn the eyes having ATR astigmatism, the mean Rx and Ry of the manifest refractive and corneal astigmatism significantly changed toward ATR astigmatism between the baseline and 5 ~ 10 years postbaseline (p ≤ 0.0304), but those of ocular residual astigmatism did not change significantly between the 2 time points. In the eyes having WTR astigmatism, the Rx and Ry of refractive, corneal, and ocular residual astigmatism did not change significantly between the 2 time points. Double-angle plots revealed an ATR shift in refractive and corneal astigmatism and no marked change in the ocular residual astigmatism in the eyes with ATR astigmatism, and there is no change in this astigmatism in the eyes with WTR astigmatism.ConclusionThe long-term changes with age in the effect of a toric IOL significantly deteriorated due to an ATR shift of corneal astigmatism in the eyes having ATR astigmatism, while it was maintained in eyes having WTR astigmatism, suggesting that ATR astigmatism should be overcorrected.

Project description:The purpose of the present case is to report the visual outcomes of a pseudophakic patient with high post-penetrating keratoplasty astigmatism treated with implantation of toric AddOn® intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus. A 79-year-old man with a ophthalmologic history of pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy had a graft failure after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty procedure on his right eye. Consequently, a penetrating keratoplasty was performed, and a high corneal astigmatism of -9.8 D to 140° resulted in that eye after selective suture removal. A secondary AddOn® toric IOL customized for the patient with a manufacturer-calculated power of +11.0 D was implanted to 50° in sulcus of the right eye. Subjective refraction was used for IOL calculation. Final refraction was +1.0 D of sphere and -2.0 D of cylinder power to 105°, with spherical equivalent of 0.0 D. Best corrected visual acuity was logMAR 0.1 (20/25, 0.8 decimal) 1 year after the IOL implant. Our case report demonstrates that the toric AddOn® secondary IOL can be effective and safe in correcting residual refractive error of high regular astigmatism after keratoplasty in pseudophakic eyes.

Project description:The current investigation evaluates the efficiency of the trifocal toric Liberty 677MTY intraocular lens (IOL) in correcting preoperative corneal astigmatism in cataract patients demanding spectacle independence. The retrospective evaluation included 28 eyes of 15 patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of at least 1.0 Dioptre (D). All patients were followed up for one year postoperatively. Residual refractive errors and visual acuities at multiple distances were measured. Binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity defocus curves were plotted. Visual functions and patient satisfaction were assessed. The efficiency of astigmatism correction was determined using the vector analysis method. The mean spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ) improved from 2.72 ± 1.62 D to 0.10 ± 0.48 D. The cylindric refraction decreased from 1.18 ± 0.45 D to 0.16 ± 0.31 D. Vector analysis proved efficient astigmatism correction with a centroid of 0.10 ± 0.34 D at 161°. Ninety-two percent of eyes resulted within 0.5 D from the target refraction. Visual acuities were 0.1 logMAR or better from +1.0 to -3.5 D defocus values. Visual tasks could be performed without major difficulties. Our patients were highly satisfied. Refractive and visual outcomes with the investigated presbyopia-correcting toric IOL are predictable and the lens provides excellent trifocal vision.

Project description:Preoperatively, the surgeon instills two drops of 0.5% proparacaine and then marks the 0° and 180° points at the limbus using a Gentian violet marker and 26G needle edge. Intraoperatively, after phacoemulsification and irrigation and aspiration of the cortex are complete, the surgeon inspects the previously marked 0°-180° points on the limbus. In case the steeper astigmatic meridian needs to be marked, a Mendez Ring is used and the meridian is marked using a Gentian violet marker and 26G needle edge. The desired markings (2 mm in length only) on the anterior lens capsule can be made using 26G needle bent at the bevel or using micro-vitreoretinal scissors. The toric intraocular lens (IOL) is then rotated in the bag in the desired meridian (customized-toric IOL in 0°-180° meridian and noncustomized toric IOL in steeper marked meridian), viscoelastic substance is aspirated and corneal wounds are hydrated.

Project description:Purpose:To present the case of a patient with Toric Lentis Mplus intraocular lens (IOL) (Oculentis, Berlin, Germany) opacification after vitrectomy and his follow-up. Observations:A 44-year-old man with high myopia and right optic neuritis history complained of visual impairment due to cataract in the right eye. We performed uneventful phacoemulsification and implanted a Toric Lentis Mplus IOL in his right eye. Six months later, he came to us with a retinal detachment in the nasal area of the right eye. We performed a 25-gauge vitrectomy with gas tamponade and endolaser treatment. Ten months after the vitrectomy, he complained of blurred vision in the right eye again. On slit-lamp examination, we observed a wide opacification localized to the anterior surface of the IOL. We explanted the IOL from the right eye and replaced it with a Clareon IOL (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX). The explanted IOL was examined under light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Conclusions and importance:We described a case of postoperative opacification of Toric Lentis Mplus IOL after vitrectomy. We found calcium aggregate deposits on the anterior surface of the IOL. Given the higher frequency of fundus disease observed in patients with high myopia, hydrophilic acrylic IOLs should be used with caution in patients with high myopia and in young patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Toric Lentis Mplus IOL opacification after the 2017 Field Safety Notice by Oculentis in response to the Food and Drug Administration's recall.

Project description:PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Verion-LenSx guided arcuate incision technique to reduce refractive astigmatism in a pseudophakic population.Patients and methodsA prospective single-arm study was conducted in which one or both eyes of subjects required reduction of 1.0-2.0 D of refractive astigmatism after previous cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. The surgeon used the refractive cylinder in the eye and the Woodcock astigmatism nomogram for preoperative planning, while the LenSx femtosecond laser with the Verion Image Guided System was used to create all arcuate incisions. The primary outcome measure was the uncorrected monocular distance visual acuity (UCVA). Secondary outcome measures included the change in corneal astigmatism, the change in refractive astigmatism, the best-corrected visual acuity and spectacle independence at distance from preoperative stage to 1 month and 2 months postoperatively.ResultsTwenty-eight eyes of 18 subjects were treated. The best-corrected visual acuity at the 2-month postoperative (PO) stage was not statistically significantly different from the preoperative visual acuity (0.02 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR] in both cases, P>0.05). Uncorrected visual acuity was statistically significantly better at the 2-month PO stage relative to the preoperative value (0.14 versus 0.34 logMAR, P<0.01). The mean change in refractive cylinder from the preoperative stage to the 2-month PO stage was 1.0 D. At the 2-month PO stage, two-thirds of the subjects (12/18) reported that they did not use glasses for distance vision and that their spectacle use for distance vision at 2 months was "lower" or "much lower" than the preoperative stage; in 71% of eyes (20/28), the residual refractive cylinder was ≤0.50 D. Vector changes in keratometric astigmatism were weakly associated with changes in refractive cylinder.ConclusionArcuate incisions made with a femtosecond laser to treat moderate levels of residual refractive astigmatism after previous cataract surgery may reduce dependence on spectacles for distance vision.

Project description:Purpose:To evaluate the refractive results and rotational stability of Eyecryl toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL). Methods:In this retrospective single-surgeon case series, manifest refraction, visual acuities, endothelial cell density (ECD), and pIOL rotation were evaluated over 6 months. Results:43 eyes from 23 patients were included. At 6 months, the SE was within ±0.50? D of emmetropia in 30 (70%) eyes and within ±1.00? D of emmetropia in 39 (91%) eyes. The efficacy and safety indices were 1.25?±?0.38 and 1.41?±?0.34, respectively. Mean ECD was 2719?±?296?cells/mm2 at the preoperative visit and 2779.42?±?422?cells/mm2 at the 6-month visit (p > 0.05). The mean value of absolute axis orientation error was 4.95?±?5.28°. Mean absolute change in axis orientation between visits was less than 3° for all visit intervals. Ninety percent or more of lenses were found to rotate 5° or less between all visit intervals. None of the patients experienced a vision-threatening complication, and no patient required secondary IOL repositioning. Conclusion:The pIOL appears to effectively reduce subjective manifest astigmatism and provide good visual acuity. Its position was found to be stable throughout the follow-up.
