    Abstract:

    AIM: To compare the rotational stability of Toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation combined with four-eyelet or two-eyelet capsular tension rings (CTRs) in eyes with high myopia and cataract. METHODS: This prospective randomized controlled interventional study included 33 eyes which had preoperative corneal astigmatism ≥1.5 D and ocular axial length ≥25.5 mm. These eyes were randomly divided into two groups to undergo phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation with either four-eyelet CTR implantation (group A, n=16) or two-eyelet CTR implantation (group B, n=17). Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), phoropter examination results, and toric IOL rotation degrees were tested 6mo after the surgery. RESULTS: In both groups, the toric IOL was in the capsular sac 6mo after surgery. The difference between the two groups in terms of visual outcome was not found to be statistically significant (P>0.05) at a follow-up of 6mo. The mean residual astigmatism values were 0.56±0.22 D and 0.92±0.24 D in A and B groups, respectively (P<0.001). The mean rotation degree of IOL was 1.00°±0.73° in group A and 3.53°±1.46° in group B (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: In cataract patients with high myopia and astigmatism, four-eyelet CTR can effectively increase the rotation stability of toric IOLs, achieving the desired goal of correcting corneal astigmatism.
