Femtosecond laser assisted phacoemulsification plus IOL implant: toric IOL vs. astigmatic keratotomy

Purpose: ) implantation for astigmatism correction. Design: Retrospective comparative case series. Methods: ), corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs), vector analysis, and best-corrected/uncorrected distant visual acuity (BCVA; UDVA; LogMAR). The average follow-up period was 16.29 ± 11.15 months. Results: = 0.49). Conclusion: FSLACS with toric IOL implantation offers an effective and more stable astigmatism correction without increasing HOAs, but also having similar visual outcome improvement, when compared to AK's astigmatism correction.

Methods: ), corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs), vector analysis, and best-corrected/uncorrected distant visual acuity (BCVA; UDVA; LogMAR). The average follow-up period was 16.29 ± 11.15 months. Results: = 0.49). Conclusion: FSLACS with toric IOL implantation offers an effective and more stable astigmatism correction without increasing HOAs, but also having similar visual outcome improvement, when compared to AK's astigmatism correction.
