Femtosecond Laser Arcuate Keratotomy vs Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation in Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

After cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient's visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.

Objective

To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Design, setting, and participants

This randomized clinical trial was conducted between October 2021 and September 2023 at the Eye Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, China. Patients with mild to moderate regular corneal astigmatism ranging from 0.75 diopters (D) to 3.00 D were recruited.
