Real-World Outcomes of Cataract Surgeries Using a New Type of Enhanced Monofocal Toric Intraocular Lens

AI Generated Summary*

A retrospective single-center review examined 62 eyes of 41 patients with at least 1.0 D of regular corneal astigmatism receiving a toric enhanced monofocal intraocular lens during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. At three months, uncorrected distance acuity improved from 0.64 to 0.11 logMAR and corrected acuity from 0.28 to 0.03. Astigmatism fell 81.9%, from 1.66 D corneal cylinder to -0.30 D refractive cylinder, with 83.9% at 0.50 D or less. The 1.09 correction index indicated slight overcorrection. Among 44 eyes with OCT alignment data, absolute misalignment averaged 3.41 degrees, all within 10 degrees. Distance-corrected near and intermediate acuities were 0.38 and 0.17 logMAR. Against-the-rule eyes were undercorrected versus with-the-rule eyes, and patients aged 70 or older had worse outcomes.
