Objectives:
This study evaluates the efficiency of toric artificial intraocular lenses in correcting the astigmatism of pacients operated by facoemulsification.
Methods:
A retrospective study was carried in which took part during the following period: february 2008 - february 2010. The study was carried on a number of 37 eyes. The pacients were evaluated by: refractometry, keratometry, corneal topography biometry, biomicroscopic examination of the eye (anterior and poterior poles), aplanotonometry the calculation of the IOL dioptric value and implantation axes with the help of the Alcon-acrysof calculator.
Results:
AV without correction > 1/2 in 98 % of cases. AV without correction > 2/3 in 62 % of cases. AV with correction > 5/6 in 85 % of cases. Medium residual astigmatism between 0,25-0,75D CONCLUSIONS: The implant of toric IOL is a viable option in the treatement of preoperative astigmatism in selected cases.
