Visual outcomes and cost-utility analyses of toric intraocular lens implantation in cataract patients over 80 with corneal astigmatism: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to assess visual and refractive outcomes and cost utility of toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation in cataract patients over 80 with corneal astigmatism.

Methods

Patients >= 80 years with corneal astigmatism >= 1.50 diopters (D) who underwent cataract surgery with toric or monofocal IOLs were enrolled. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and residual refractive astigmatism at the 3-month postoperative follow-up were compared between the toric and non-toric groups. Cost data were gathered, long-term quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was determined.

Results

The study included 50 eyes from 50 patients, with 25 eyes receiving toric IOLs and the remaining 25 rece
