·AIM:To evaluate astigmatism correction of the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens(IOL)in cataract patients.·METHODS:Thirty-nine patients 45 eyes were implanted with the AcrySof Toric IOL by the same surgeon between June 2008 and January 2009.Three Toric models were evaluated in cylinder powers of 1.50 diopters(D)(SN60-T3;T3 group,n=11),2.25D(SN60-T4;T4 group,n=17),and 3.00 D(SN60-T5;T5 group,n=17)at the IOL plane.The patients were followed up for 6 months with pre-and postoperatively refractive assessments performed.·RESULTS:Six months postoperatively,the mean un-corrected visual acuity(UCVA)was 0.73±0.20 in the T3 group,0.92±0.16 in the T4 group,0.85±0.23 in the T5 group,respectively.Residual astigmatism was-0.52±0.22D.The mean IOL rotation was 3.5±2.1degrees,2.8±2.0 in the T3 group,3.0±2.2 in the T4 group,3.9±1.8 in the T5 group,respectively.·CONCLUSION:Implantation of the AcrySof Toric IOL proved to be successful in correcting corneal astigmatism in cataract patients.·
