Comparison of Viusal Outcomes After Implantation of the POD 26% FineVision Toric (PhysIOL) and POD 26% Toric (PhysIOL)

Comparison of Viusal Outcomes After Implantation of the POD 26% FineVision

The study is an observational non-randomised controlled study comparing the visual acuity after implantation of the POD 26% FINEVISION TORIC with respect to the POD 26% TORIC

The study is an observational non-randomised controlled study comparing the visual acuity after implantation of the POD 26% FINEVISION TORIC with respect to the POD 26% TORIC This study includes both eyes of 24 patients implanted with the POD 26%FineVision Toric (group 1: 12 patients) and the POD 26% Toric (group 2: 12 patients) .

The study primary goal is to compare the near visual acuity in both groups. Distance and intermediate visual acuities, defocus curve, refraction and straylight will be compared.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient older than 50 years old
• Regular corneal astigmatism >1.0 dioptres by IOL Master (regularity determined by the topography of the keratometry).
• Regular corneal astigmatism <2.5 dioptres by IOL Master (regularity determined by the topography of the keratometry).
• Group 1: patients after cataract surgery with Fine Vision toric implanted in both eyes
• Group 2: patients after cataract surgery with Ankoris implanted in both eyes
• Availability, willingness and sufficient cognitive awareness to comply with examination procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

• - Irregular astigmatism

• Difficulty for cooperation (distance from their home, general health condition)
• Acute or chronic disease or illness that would increase risk or confound study results (e.g. diabetes mellitus (with retinopathy), immunocompromised, glaucoma etc…)
• Any ocular comorbidity
• History of ocular trauma or prior ocular surgery including refractive procedures
• Capsule or zonular abnormalities that may affect postoperative centration or tilt of the lens (e.g. pseudoexfoliation syndrome, chronic Uveitis, Marfan's syndrome)
• Pupil abnormalitis (non-reactive, tonic pupils, abnormally shaped pupils or pupils that do not dilate under mesopic/scotopic conditions)
• IOL spherical equivalent power lower than 10 D or greater than 30D
• Complicated surgery
