TitreFirst experiences with a new toric intraocular lens
Abstract Nr.P110
ButTo present the characteristics of a new glistening-free hydrophobic toric intraocular lens (IOL ) and the preliminary clinical results in a group of patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism, having routine cataract surgery with implantation of the enVista®TORIC IOL.
MéthodesThe enVista®TORIC lens is a single-piece acrylic IOL, with an aspheric, aberration-free, toric optic and a modified C-loop haptic design. The enVista®TORIC (Bausch&Lomb) has a 360ᵒ sharp square posterior edge to minimize PCO. The material is hydrophobic in nature, even though plasticized by a small amount of water (~ 4%). The lens is packaged in a physiological saline solution to maintain its hydration and to prevent formation of glistenings. The material is resistant to scratches and abrasion. Every surgical procedure was performed by a single and experienced surgeon. All postoperative examinations were done by the same clinician.
RésultatsTen eyes have been implanted through a 2.8 mm incision. All surgeries were uneventful. The lens was easy to position. Six weeks after surgery, in all but one (amblyopia case), UCVA ranged from 0.7 to 1.0 (decimal). Manifest Refraction Spherical Equivalent (MRSE) ranged from -0.5 to 0.75 D with a residual refractive cylinder of 1.0 D or less in all eyes. BCVA ranged from 0.8 to 1.0 (decimal).
ConclusionCataract surgery with implantation of the enVista® Toric IOL appears to be a safe and effective procedure to correct pre-existing corneal astigmatism in cataract patients.
