{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The purpose of this meta-analysis is to systematically compare the alignment accuracy and post uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) between image-guided marking and manual marking for toric intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract surgery.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This work was done through the data searched from the PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Handbook was also used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. In addition, this meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.4 software.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A total of 6 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Compared with manual marking group, image-guided marking group had less toric IOL axis misalignment (MD, -1.98; 95%CI, -3.27 to -0.68; p = .003), less postoperative astigmatism (MD, -0.13; 95%CI, -0.21 to -0.05; p = .001), better postoperative UDVA (MD, -0.02; 95%CI, -0.04 to -0.01; p = .0003) and smaller difference vector (MD, -0.10; 95%CI, -0.14 to -0.06; p(0.00001). For the proportion of patients with residual refractive cylinder within 0.5 D, there was no difference between two groups (p = .07).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Image-guided marking is prior to manual marking. As it can bring less toric IOL axis misalignment, less postoperative astigmatism, better postoperative UDVA and smaller difference vector for the patients with toric IOL implantation.
