Clinical Outcomes Following Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation: A Case Series Study

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Biomedical Engineering

Background:

• Age-related cataracts are a leading cause of vision impairment.
• Toric intraocular lenses (TIOLs) are designed to correct pre-existing corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.
• Accurate IOL implantation and stability are crucial for achieving optimal visual outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the PODEYE TORIC intraocular lens (IOL).
• To assess the refractive precision and rotational stability of the PODEYE TORIC IOL in patients with corneal astigmatism.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective, non-randomized, interventional case series.
• Inclusion of patients with age-related cataracts and corneal astigmatism (≥0.9 D).
• Implantation of a single model of toric IOL (PODEYE TORIC, BVI).

Main Results:

• 94% of patients achieved postoperative residual astigmatism of 1.0 D or lower.
• Mean deviation from the planned IOL axis was 2.66 degrees; 88% rotated ≤5 degrees.
• No IOLs rotated ≥10 degrees, indicating high rotational stability.

Conclusions:

• PODEYE TORIC IOLs offer significant refractive precision.
• The lens demonstrates reliable rotational stability in the capsular bag.
• Consistent and strong postoperative vision outcomes were achieved with this TIOL.
