AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and stability of AcrySof Toric intraocular les (IOL) to correct residual astigmatism in patients after one year from phacoemulsification cataract absorption(PEA) and AcrySof Toric IOL implantation. METHODS: This study included 13 eyes of 13 consecutive cataract patients with more than 0.75 diopter (D) of preexisting corneal astigmatism.1 year after IOL implantation, the uncorrected visual acuity（UCVA）,residual refractive cylinders, corneal keratometer，and AcrySof Toric IOL axis were measured. RESULTS: UCVA :before operation presented＜0.1 in 4 eyes，0.1-0.3 in 8 eyes，0.4-0.6 in 1 eye，after operation，07-0.9 in 7 eyes，≥1.0 in 6 eyes. There was statistically significant difference between before operation and after operation（P<0.05）.The residual refractive cylinders was -1.97±0.73D（-3.5-1.25D） before operation and -0.44±0.45D(-1.25-0D) after operation.There was statistically significant difference between before operation and after operation（P<0.05）.As for rotational stability,1 year after implantation, all AcrySof Toric IOL rotated less than 10 degrees.The mean AcrySof Toric IOL axis rotation was 4.07°±3.07°(0°-10°). CONCLUSION: The AcrySof Toric IOL implantation is safe and effective to correct residual astigmatism in 1 year after cataract surgery.
