Comparison of Two Toric IOLs with Different Haptic Design: Optical Quality after 1 Year.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this prospective, randomised study was to interocularly compare the visual performance after implantation of two different toric IOLs with different haptic design.

Methods

59 subjects with corneal astigmatism greater than 1.25 diopter (D) were implanted with an AT TORBI 709M IOL (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) in one eye and with a Tecnis toric aspheric IOL (Abbot Medical Optics) in the other eye. Observation procedure was performed 12 months postoperatively. Main outcome measures included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), manifest refraction, IOL rotation, and IOL position.

Results

Mean UCDVA was 0.04 ± 0.14 logMAR for AT TORBI eyes and 0.06 ± 0.15 logMAR for Tecnis eyes (p = 0.3). The postoperative spherical equivalent values were s
