Purpose:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the AcrySof IQ PanOptix toric intraocular lens (IOL) with cylinder power of 1.0 D (TFNT20) in a Japanese population with low corneal astigmatism and compare with historical control data for nontoric IOLs.
Setting:
Tokyo Dental College Suidobashi Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Design:
Prospective, single-center study.
Methods:
Patients ≥20 years old received TFNT20 IOL in at least 1 eye based on Alcon Toric calculator (Holladay Total surgically induced astigmatism). Effectiveness endpoints included the percentage of eyes with refractive cylinder ≤0.25 D at 30-60 days after surgery, which was compared with a historical control threshold rate of 29.2% for nontoric IOLs and refractive cylinder ≤0.50 D. Monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA; 5 m), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA; 60 cm), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA; 40 cm), and adverse events were evaluated.
Results:
Of 41 eyes implanted with TFNT20 IOLs, 37 eyes (90%) achieved refractive cylinder ≤0.25 D at 30-60 days after surgery, demonstrating the superiority of TFNT20 compared with historical data (P<0.0001). Refractive cylinder of ≤0.50 D was achieved by 41 eyes (100%). At 30-60 days, mean ± SD monocular CDVA was -0.15 ± 0.07 logMAR, UDVA was -0.09 ± 0.09 logMAR, UIVA was -0.00 ± 0.07 logMAR, and UNVA was 0.03 ± 0.07 logMAR. Six eyes (15%) had elevated postoperative intraocular pressure, which returned to normal and was not device-related.
Conclusion:
TFNT20 IOLs successfully reduced postoperative refractive cylinder and provided good distance, intermediate, and near uncorrected VAs in Japanese patients with low corneal astigmatism.
