Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Monofocal and multifocal Toric intraocular lens that have been widely used in clinic exhibit xcellent biological and optical characteristics and have good safety and stability after implantation.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes and rotation stability in patients with cataract and astigmatism after implantation of monofocal and multifocal intraocular lens.
METHODS: A total of 210 patients with cataract and astigmatism who received phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were included in this study. Of them, 105 patients were assigned to monofocal intraocular lens implantation and the other 105 patients to multifocal intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, residual astigmatism were reexamined at 1, 3 weeks and 1 month after surgery. The rotation of Toric intraocular lens was determined. The incidence of complications and spectacles- independent rate were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Visual acuity and residual astigmatism in each group were significantly improved after 1 week of intraocular lens implantation (P < 0.05); furthermore, these two indicators became better over time. Improvement of visual acuity and residual astigmatism in multifocal intraocular lens group was more obvious than that in monofocal intraocular lens group. Postoperative intraocular lens rotation at < 5° occurred in both groups. The intraocular lens rotation degree in multifocal intraocular lens group was higher than that in monofocal intraocular lens group at different time points (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in incidence of complications and spectacles-independent rates between two groups at 1 month after surgery. These results demonstrate that multifocal Toric intraocular lens provides better visual acuity and residual astigmatism improvement, while monofocal Toric intraocular lens provides better rotation stability.
