Meticulous correction of astigmatism during cataract surgery is mandatory in cases of multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Toric multifocal IOLs allow predictable astigmatic correction during cataract surgery. In this editorial, we review our investigation on the Tecnis ZMT IOL (Abbott Medical Optics, CA, US) as well as other recent developments in multifocal toric IOLs.

AbstractThis study tried to compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for astigmatism correction and identify factors affecting the efficacy of FSAK and toric IOL implantation in astigmatism correction. This retrospective case series comprised patients with corneal astigmatism ranging between 0.5 D and 4.5 D. Patients underwent FSAK or toric IOL implantation for cataract treatment and correction of astigmatism at the Samsung Medical Center, a tertiary surgical center, between April 2016 and December 2018. All patients underwent examination before and at three months after the surgery for comparative evaluation of refractive astigmatism, corneal high order aberrations and irregularity index. The astigmatism correction was analyzed by the Alpins method. Subgroup analysis of preoperative factors was based on the extent of target-induced astigmatism (TIA), the degree of astigmatism, and astigmatism classification based on topography. Thirty-one eyes underwent toric IOL implantation and 35 eyes underwent FSAK. The refractive astigmatism was significantly decreased in both toric IOL (P = 0.000) and FSAK group (P = 0.003). The correction index (CI) of refractive astigmatism was 0.84 ± 0.39 in the toric IOL and 0.71 ± 0.60 in the FSAK group. There was no difference between the two groups (P = 0.337). The CI of the FSAK group was significantly lower than in the toric IOL group when TIA was more than 1.5 D (P = 0.006), when correcting against-the-rule (P = 0.017), and limbus-to-limbus astigmatism (P = 0.008). In conclusion, toric IOL implantation is an effective and safe procedure for correcting preoperative astigmatism in cataract surgery in the short-term observation.

AbstractWe aimed to compare refractive outcomes between total keratometry using a swept-source optical biometer and conventional keratometry in cataract surgery with refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. We included patients who underwent cataract surgery with refractive multifocal IOL implantation. The IOL power was calculated using conventional formulas (Haigis, SRK/T, Holladay 2, and Barrett Universal II) as well as a new formula (Barrett TK Universal II). The refractive mean error, mean absolute error, and median absolute error were compared, as were the proportions of eyes within ± 0.25 diopters (D), ± 0.50 D, and ± 1.00 D of prediction error. In total 543 eyes of 543 patients, the absolute prediction error of total keratometry was significantly higher than that of conventional keratometry using the SRK/T (P = 0.034) and Barrett Universal II (P = 0.003). The proportion of eyes within ± 0.50 D of the prediction error using the SRK/T and Barrett Universal II was also significantly higher when using conventional keratometry than total keratometry (P = 0.010 for SRK/T and P = 0.005 for Barrett Universal II). Prediction accuracy of conventional keratometry was higher than that of total keratometry in cataract surgery with refractive multifocal IOL implantation.


Drops of lens nucleus/cortex particles into the vitreous cavity or dislocations of intraocular lenses (IOLs) are one of the serious complications of cataract surgery with an increasing relative frequency with the increase in the number of cataract surgeries. In addition, spontaneous and traumatic dislocations are other common case groups that should be treated. In this article, the vitreous dislocations of nucleus/cortex residues or IOL dislocations are discussed with different vitreoretinal surgical techniques.

Objective. To compare patient’s satisfaction level in performing routine activities during daylight and night vision after implantation with rigid, foldable, or rollable posterior chamber intraocular lens implants in uneventful cataract surgery. Design. Retrospective, cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study. PNS SHIFA Hospital, Karachi, from Nov. 2009 to Nov. 2010. Methodology. 91 cataract surgery patients who had uneventful phacoemulsification, within the bag placement of intraocular lens and achieved best corrected visual acuity 6/9 or better were included in the study. Patients who developed postoperative complications were excluded. A specially designed questionnaire was used to assess patient’s satisfaction level of vision for those who underwent cataract surgery at least 3 months ago. Finally, they were categorized into five groups ranging from “very good” to “very poor.” SPSS version 16 was used to analyze the results. Results. There was a difference in satisfaction level between three groups. Vision was good in the day and the night with foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens implants. Conclusion. It was concluded that visual satisfaction level of patients who had foldable posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was better during the day and night as compared to patients who had rigid or rollable posterior chamber intraocular lenses implantation.

We report a case of patient dissatisfaction after sequential myopic and hyperopic LASIK in the same eye. We discuss the course of management for this patient involving eventual cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation with attention to the IOL power calculation method used.
