T-flex® Aspheric Toric Demonstrates Safe and Effective Correction of Clinically Significant Corneal Astigmatism

11/4/2014

In a recent article in the Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, Dr Shao-Wei Weng and colleagues highlight the effectiveness and rotational stability of the T-flex^® Aspheric Toric lens.

This prospective study of 24 eyes in 24 patients demonstrated the predictable refractive outcomes that can be achieved with the T-flex^®, as 96% of patients had a corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of ≥20/40 post-operatively. This equated to a 6 Snellen line mean improvement in CDVA post-operatively compared to the pre-operative assessment.

The effectiveness of the lens was evidenced with the refractive astigmatism improving from 3.21 ± 1.50 D to 0.77 ± 0.47 D (p < 0.001). The rotational stability of the T-flex^®  lens was supported with IOL rotation of <5° from intended axis in all patients at 6 months post-operatively. Furthermore, no patient had significant intra- or postoperative complications.
