AIM: To study the effect of toric implantable collamer lens(TICL)implantation on axial stability and visual function of patients with myopia and astigmatism after intraocular lens implantation.

METHODS: The analysis was performed in TICL operation of 72 cases of patients with ametropic(90 eyes)in our hospital from Jun. 2014 to Jul. 2015. Uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), refraction and contrast sensitivity were evaluated before and after treatment. The TICL axis of astigmatism was measured by slit lamp from 1wk, 3mo and 6mo postoperatively. The visual function satisfaction was done by survey questionnaire study 6mo postoperatively.

RESULTS:Significant improvement in UCVA and BCVA were found at 1wk, 3mo and 6mo(P<0.05). The refraction and astigmatism at 1wk, 3mo and 6mo after treatment were no significant difference(P>0.05). The contrast sensitivity was all significantly better than results before operation(P<0.05). It indicated the better stability of axis after TICL. The proportion of visual function satisfaction of patients was over 98% postoperatively.

CONCLUSION: TICL implantation is safe and effective in the treatment of myopia and astigmatism, worthy of promotion.
