The Long-term Outcome After Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Corneal astigmatism is refractive error that impairs uncorrected visual acuity. When patients undergo cataract surgery, implantation of toric IOL is deemed the most effective choice for correcting corneal astigmatism and reducing postoperative spectacle dependence. Previous studies report that the visual effects and rotational stability of toric IOLs are well maintained over 1- or 2-year follow-up periods. However, the long-term changes in the effects of toric IOLs remain unclear.

Detailed Description
Corneal astigmatism is refractive error that impairs uncorrected visual acuity. When patients undergo cataract surgery, implantation of toric IOL is deemed the most effective choice for correcting corneal astigmatism and reducing postoperative spectacle dependence. Previous studies report that the visual effects and rotational stability of toric IOLs are well maintained over 1- or 2-year follow-up periods. However, there is a long-term against-the-rule (ATR) change of corneal astigmatism with aging，which influences the long-term outcomes of refractive surgery. The long-term changes in the effects of toric IOLs remain unclear. This study aim to observe the clinical effect of Toric IOL implantation in the correction of corneal astigmatism.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Toric IOL This study included the patients who underwent cataract surgery with the toric IOL(SN6ATX) implantation. Preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism, short-term and long-term postoperative total astigmatism were the main outcome indicators. Preoperative corneal astigmatism (Pentacam and IOLMaster) would be obtained from outpatient and inpatient medical records, and the IOL axis should be calculated before surgery. Short-term postoperative (1-3 months) subjective optometry results; Long-term postoperative (3-5 years) corneal astigmatism (Pentacam and IOLMaster), subjective optometry results, and axial lens would be observed using SSOCT after pupil dilation. |
Device: subjective refraction
Short-term postoperative (1-3 months) and long-term postoperative (3-5 years) subjective optometry results were measured by subjective refraction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- changes of magnitude of corneal astigmatism from pre-surgery to 3-5 years after surgery [before surgery and 3-5 years after surgery]
using Pentacam measure cornea astigmatism of the subjects
- changes of axis of corneal astigmatism from pre-surgery to 3-5 years after surgery [before surgery and 3-5 years after surgery]
using Pentacam measure cornea astigmatism of the subjects
- changes of manifest refractive astigmatism from1 -3 months after surgery to 3-5 years after surgery [1-3 months after surgery and 3-5 years after surgery]
measured using subjective refraction by Professional optometrists
