Article Abstract
Background/objectives: To compare visual and refractive outcomes of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) with limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) with 'off-the-shelf' use of toric IOLs (TIOLs), with a fixed 2-dioptre cylinder (DC) correction, for cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism in a public-sector setting.
Subjects/methods: Seventy-seven patients (77 eyes, first treated eye) with visually significant cataract and pre-operative corneal astigmatism ≥2.00 DC were randomised to receive either 'off-the-shelf' TIOLs, with a fixed 2.00 DC cylinder correction (39 eyes), or monofocal IOLs (38 eyes) with LRIs. The concept of fixing the cylindrical correction was to minimise costs, allow a full TIOL bank to be available and eliminate the need for individual TIOL ordering. Outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and refraction. Astigmatic changes were evaluated using the Alpins vector method.
Results: Mean UDVA improved from logMAR 0.88 (SD 0.56)[~20/150] pre-operatively to 0.18 (SD 0.19)[~20/30] post-operatively in TIOL group, versus 0.82 (SD 0.55)[~20/130] to 0.27 (SD 0.15)[~20/40] in monofocal/LRI group (P = 0.02; 95% CI: -0.17, -0.01). Mean CDVA improved from logMAR 0.40 (SD 0.26)[~20/50] to 0.01 (SD 0.12)[~20/20] in TIOL group, and 0.41 (SD 0.38)[~20/40] to 0.06 (SD 0.12)[~20/25] in LRI group (P = 0.07; 95% CI: -0.11, 0.01). Average post-operative refractive cylinder in TIOL group was 1.35 DC (SD 0.84 DC) and in LRI group 1.91 DC (SD 1.07 DC) (P = 0.01; 95% CI: -1, -0.12). Mean difference vector magnitude was 1.92 DC (SD 1.08 DC) in LRI group and 1.37 DC (SD 0.84 DC) in TIOL group (P = 0.02; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.99).
Conclusions: TIOLs with a fixed 2.00 DC correction during cataract surgery may improve UDVA, reduce post-operative cylinder and result in a more reliable astigmatic correction compared with monofocal IOLs with LRIs.

Importance: After cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient's visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.
To compare the standard outcomes between the PanOptix and Symfony multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) in Chinese patients. This prospective observational cohort study enrolled patients with cataracts between April 2021 and December 2021 at Xiamen Eye Center Affiliated to Xiamen University. The patients were grouped in the PanOptix (TIOL group) and Symfony (EDF group) according to the IOLs implanted.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the accuracy of different methods for measuring regular astigmatism parameters, which is essential for effective optical correction, particularly with toric intraocular lenses.
- Based on a group of 83 patients, the research reveals a significant discrepancy in diagnostic results between automatic refractometry and subjective tests, especially for against-the-rule astigmatism.
- The findings indicate that misaligned cylinder axes significantly affect visual acuity, with greater declines observed when the axis deviates by 10-15 degrees, particularly in with-the-rule astigmatism.

Background: To compare the visual efficacy and patient satisfaction between 2 toric IOLs (TIOL), enhanced for intermediate vision or monofocal.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of 100 eyes from 68 astigmatic patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of a Tecnis Eyhance Toric II IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Irvine, CA, USA) (Group 1, 50 eyes) or Tecnis TIOL (Group 2, 50 eyes). The uncorrected distant (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), and near (UNVA) visual acuities; residual refractive astigmatism; defocus curve; and IOL axis rotation were evaluated at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the axial rotation of toric intraocular lenses (T-IOL) after cataract surgery alone compared to cataract surgery combined with vitrectomy in patients with two affected eyes.
- It involved a retrospective review of 36 eyes from 18 patients, showing similar axial rotations (around 3°) post-surgery with no significant differences between the two surgical methods.
- Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in reducing astigmatism from preoperative levels, indicating that both procedures effectively manage corneal astigmatism.
