AIM : To analyze the subjective and objective visual outcomes of Multifocal Toric Intraocular lenses for distance and near vision after implantation.
METHODS : 20 Eyes of 10 Patients with significant cataract and 1-3D of corneal astigmatism, who desire to be spectacle free for distance and near vision underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of multifocal toric IOL. All patients underwent a full ophthalmological examination including uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), corrected near visual acuity(CNVA). IOL power and alignment was calculated on manufacturer’s web-based program. Suitable lenses were selected to neutralize both sphere and cylinder. Postoperatively, UDVA, CDVA, UNVA, CNVA, contrast sensitivity, IOL position, any complications and patient satisfaction using a validated questionnaire was analyzed at 1 month.
RESULTS : Postoperatively spectacle independency for distance and near was achieved in 100% eyes.
