Three-Year Outcomes of Toric vs Nontoric Monofocal Intraocular Lens Implantation in Children Aged 3–8 Years With Congenital Cataract
For children aged 3 to 8 years with congenital cataracts and corneal astigmatism ≥2.0 D, toric IOL implantation provided superior long-term visual outcomes and reduced amblyopia rates compared with nontoric monofocal IOL implantation. This supports its consideration as the preferred surgical approach for optimizing visual rehabilitation in this population.
