AIM: To investigate the visual quality of LENTIS Comfort Toric intraocular lens implantation in cataract surgery.

METHODS: A retrospective controlled clinical study was conducted on 40 patients(40 eyes)who received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation assisted by digital navigation, with LENTIS Comfort Toric(MF15T)implanted in group A(24 eyes)and monofocal Toric intraocular lens implanted in group B(16 eyes). The visual acuity at different distances, the postoperative astigmatism center of mass value, the lens loss rate, the change of defocus curve and the stability of intraocular lens were observed at 3mo after surgery.

RESULTS: There were no serious complications in both groups, and there was no significant difference in distance vision between group A and group B at 3mo after surgery(P>0.05); the visual acuity and near vision in group A were significantly better than those in group B(P<0.01); the postoperative lens loss rate in group A was 99%, and it was 45% in group B(P<0.05); the value of astigmatism center of mass in 3mo after surgery was improved compared with that before surgery, and there was no significant difference between groups(P>0.05); the defocus curve of group A peaked at +0.50 and -1.75D at 3mo after surgery, forming plateau and gently declining, while group B showed a steep decline after peaks at +0.25 and -0.25D. One eye(4%)in group A had the axial rotation of intraocular lens greater than 10° at 1d after surgery; In group B, 6 eyes(38%)had axial rotation of intraocular lenses greater than 10°, 2 eyes(33%)rotated clockwise, and 4 eyes(67%)rotated counterclockwise. No intraocular lens displacement occurred in either group.

CONCLUSION: Both kinds of intraocular lenses can correct astigmatism, among which LENTIS Comfort Toric intraocular lens can provide personalized choices for people with cataract and astigmatism, solve astigmatism and obtain full visual acuity at the same time, with low incidence of postoperative optical interference, better stability, high visual quality and satisfaction.
