ASSESSEMENT OF AXIS MISALIGNMENT OF ACRYSOFT RESTOR TORIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: to asses the impact of axis misalignment of ART intraocular lenses. Materials and Methods: interventional case series study, 52 eyes (46 patients) implanted ART; follow-up at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year post-op to collect data: IOL's axis rotation, VA, residual astigmatism. Results: at 1 week, 15,38% eyes had IOL’s axis misalignment, 75% < 30, 25% from 30 to 50, average 2,42±1,12˚; at 1month to 12 months, 17,31% eyes had IOL’s axis misalignment, 100%<50, average 2,28±1,34˚; with IOL’s axis misalignment < 30, residual astigmatism was -0,37±0,26. Conclusion: IOL’s axis misalignment check up would be mandatory technique in follow-up of ART implantation and could be influenced to patient satisfaction.
