Effects of the toric intraocular lens on correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism

Purpose To examine the effects of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) on the correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism after cataract surgery. Methods Fifty eyes that underwent phacoemulsification were enrolled in three group: (1) eyes with corneal astigmatism ≥1.0 diopter (D) that received a toric I...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose To examine the effects of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) on the correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism after cataract surgery. Methods Fifty eyes that underwent phacoemulsification were enrolled in three group: (1) eyes with corneal astigmatism ≥1.0 diopter (D) that received a toric IOL (Alcon SN6AT) (toric), (2) eyes with astigmatism ≥1.0 D that received a nontoric IOL (high-astigmatism group), and (3) eyes with astigmatism
