[Emphasizing the standard application of toric intraocular lenses]

In the era of refractive cataract surgery, corneal astigmatism is a crucial factor that affects visual quality after cataract surgery. Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) have a wide correction range, good surgical predictability, minimal damage to the ocular surface, and stable long-term effects, which can significantly improve postoperative visual quality and patient satisfaction. However, there are still several challenges in the clinical application of toric IOLs, including the awareness of astigmatism correction, the accuracy of preoperative biometry, the widespread adoption of the concept of total corneal astigmatism, the management of surgical planning and details, and the control of postoperative residual astigmatism. This article aims to address these issues to further standardize the clinical application of toric IOLs and help improve the overall level of refractive cataract surgery in China.
