A meta-analysis of 12 comparative studies found that toric IOLs reduced residual cylinder and improved uncorrected distance vision in cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
A systematic review of 19 reports and 1,564 eyes assessed residual cylinder, rotation and reoperation after at least one year. Correction generally persisted to two years, but longer evidence was sparse.
A prospective study of 28 patients evaluated bilateral Liberty 677MTY implantation. Most participants reported spectacle independence at one year, but the study had no control group.
An overview of 85 publications mapped indications for toric IOLs, preoperative measurement, calculation, surgical technique, rotational stability and unresolved questions in astigmatism correction during cataract surgery.
