Purpose
To evaluate short term post operative visual acuity and refractive status of monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) to correct regular co-existing astigmatism in cataract patients from two clinics, in Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Setting
SOF, Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Methods
This observational retrospective study included patients from SOF Córdoba and SOF Buenos Aires clinics who underwent cataract surgery with toric IOL implantation (Monofocal Hanita VisTor™). Data was analyzed by Student T Test and Wilcoxon´s Test. Statistical significance was set up at p<0.05.
Results
33 patients were included in the sample, corresponding to 48 eyes, There was a statistically significant difference between pre- and postoperative astigmatism and visual acuity. Mean (±SD) residual refractive astigmatism was 0.7D (±0.35), with a maximum of 1.75D and a minimum of 0.25D. The mean reduction of astigmatism was 1.61D±0.61 (p<0.01). The mean reduction of Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UDVA) and Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) was 0.44 and 0.16 logMar respectively.
Conclusions
Implantation of Hanita VisTor IOL™ is effective to correct corneal refractive astigmatism during cataract surgery and it provides excellent UDVA and CDVA, Although our sample is yet small, the refractive and visual acuity results are comparable to those from other toric IOL.
