Abstract
Objective
To study the effect of astigmatism correction, rotational stability, and related factors of two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses.
Methods
A prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Cataract patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of > 1 D were randomly implanted with C-loop haptic toric IOL (AcrySof-toric IOL) (group A) or plate-haptic toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 M IOL) (group B). The residual astigmatism, intraocular lens rotation, and visual quality were determined and compared between the two groups at 3 months after surgery.
Results
Seventy-nine eyes were included in this study, including 40 eyes in the group A and 39 eyes in the group B. No significant difference in preoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and ophthalmic biological parameters was found between the two groups. There was no significant difference in residual astigmatism between the two groups at 3 months after surgery (P > 0.05). The rotation degree in the group A was 3.85 ± 2.92°, the rotation degree in the group B was 2.33 ± 2.31°, and a significant difference in intraocular lens rotation was identified between the two groups (P < 0.05). Upon exploring the rotation-related factors of the two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses, the rotation after implanting C-loop haptic toric IOL was positively correlated with axial length (Pearson r = 0.522, P = 0.01) and corneal white-to-white distance (Pearson correlation analysis r = 0.356, P = 0.024).
Conclusions
The two different haptic type toric intraocular lenses effectively corrected regular corneal astigmatism and provided a good rotational stability after surgery. But the stability of plate-haptic toric IOL was better than that of C-loop haptic toric IOL. The rotational stability of C-loop haptic toric IOL was often related to axial length and corneal white-to-white distance.
