{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: To evaluate the clinical outcomes, rotational stability, and footplate position of the toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL) (STAAR Surgical) in eyes with low vault and analyze factors related to rotational stability.
UNASSIGNED: This prospective observational study included 59 eyes of 59 patients with insufficient vault (< 250 µm). Postoperative rotation was defined as the difference between the achieved angle and the intraoperative fixation angle, and assessed with a digital anterior segment photograph after full mydriasis at 1 week and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used to determine the ciliary body morphology and position of the footplate. Correlation analysis was employed to identify the risk factors associated with TICL rotation at 6 months postoperatively.
UNASSIGNED: At 6 months postoperatively, the mean central vault was 137.4 ± 61.0 µm (range: 40 to 236 µm), and the mean efficacy and safety indices were 1.04 and 1.15, respectively. The mean manifest refractive astigmatism decreased from -1.67 ± 0.82 diopters (D) preoperatively to -0.43 ± 0.33 D postoperatively, and the mean absolute rotation was 4.50 ± 3.08 degrees (range: 0 to 12.50 degrees). The angle of rotation was correlated with the preoperative spherical power (r = -0.318, P = .014), the average value of TICL footplates position (r = 0.284, P = .029), and postoperative astigmatism (r = -.469, P⩽ .001).
UNASSIGNED: TICL implantation is predictable, safe, and effective in correcting myopic astigmatism in eyes with low vault. The rotational stability was acceptable and related to the malposition of the footplate and preoperative spherical power. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(7):e460-e467.].
