Early Postoperative Rotational stability and its related factors of a single-piece acrylic toric intraocular lens
2019
In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the early postoperative rotational stability of TECNIS toric intraocular lens (IOL) and analyse its correlation with preoperative and intraoperative parameters. A total of 102 eyes from 87 cataract patients who underwent implantation of TECNIS toric IOL during July 2016 to November 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Preoperative parameters including corneal astigmatism, axial length (AL), lens thickness (LT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and sulcus-to-sulcus (STS), were determined. The area of capsulorhexis was measured with Rhinoceros 5.0 software. The follow-up examinations including the residual astigmatism (RAS) and postoperative toric IOL axis, were performed at 1 month and 3 months after surgery. RAS was −0.84 ± 0.88 D at 1 month and −0.81 ± 0.89 D at 3 months after surgery. The rotation of toric IOL at 3 months was 4.83 ± 3.65°. The Pearson’s r of ACD, horizontal and vertical STS, and toric IOL target axis was 0.011, 0.039, 0.045 and 0.082. The toric IOL rotation was positively correlated with the area of capsulorhexis (r = 0.522, P = 0.0003), LT (r = 0.288, P = 0.003) and AL (r = 0.259, P = 0.009). As for the area of capsulorhexis, the regressive equation was: y = 0.682 × −13.105, demonstrating that the diameter of capsulorhexis should be controlled within 5.8 mm to maintain the toric IOL rotation within 5.0°. TECNIS toric IOLs possessed great early postoperative rotational stability. The area of capsulorhexis, AL and LT were positively correlated with postoperative rotational stability. A capsulorhexis within 5.8 mm had an important significance in improving rotational stability.
