Influence of Implantation Technique on Rotational Stability of a Frosted-Haptic Toric Intraocular Lens: A Prospective Contralateral-Eye Study
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
OVD-assisted Implantation: Implantation of the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II intraocular lens using a cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device.
BSS-assisted hydroimplantation: Implantation of the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II intraocular lens using balanced salt solution instead of an ophthalmic viscosurgical device.
Study summary
This prospective, randomized contralateral-eye study evaluates whether the implantation technique influences the rotational stability and refractive outcomes of the TECNIS Eyhance™ Toric II intraocular lens (IOL) during cataract surgery. Although balanced salt solution (BSS) hydroimplantation has been proposed to reduce postoperative IOL rotation by eliminating retained ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD), the effect of implantation technique on the rotational stability of modern frosted-haptic toric IOLs remains uncertain.
Patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery with regular corneal astigmatism receive TECNIS Eyhance™ Toric II IOLs in both eyes. One eye is randomized to OVD-assisted implantation and the fellow eye to BSS-assisted hydroimplantation. The primary outcome is postoperative rotational stability assessed using OPD-Scan III at postoperative day 1, week 1, and month 1. Secondary outcomes include postoperative refractive astigmatism, astigmatic prediction error, and visual acuity. The study aims to determine whether implantation technique influences postoperative rotational stability or refractive performance when using a contemporary frosted-haptic toric IOL.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Absolute rotational stability of the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II intraocular lens — Postoperative day 1, week 1, and month 1
Absolute intraocular lens rotation (degrees) measured relative to the final intraoperative implantation axis using the OPD-Scan III. Rotation was calculated as the absolute angular difference between the intraoperative reference axis and the postoperative axis
