Implanting toric implantable collamer lens displays better astigmatism correction than implantable collamer lens combined with manually limbal relaxing incision.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This 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.

Methods

A 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.

Results

The two surgeries showed comparable effects on manifest sphere and cylinder, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity (all p > 0.1). Sur
