  2. Purpose To compare the long-term changes in corneal astigmatism induced by toric iris-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in post-keratoplasty patients and patients with no previous ocular surgery.

  3. Methods • Retrospective study • Exclusion criteria:corneal pathologies laser refractive surgery other corneal surgery after Artisan implantation • Groups: 1. no previous ocular surgery (control group) 2. post-keratoplasty (PK group) • Toric iris-fixated IOL(Artisan,Ophtec BV, the Netherlands) • 5.4 mm superior incision

  4. Methods: Surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) • Determined by corneal topographies(Eyemap, Alcon, TX, USA): - preop - 6 months postop - 3 years postop • Individual cylinder + axis → Cartesian coordinate (x,y) • SIA calculated by standard vector analysis 1 • SIA displayed in double angle minus cylinder plots: 45° Example Diopters 2 1 90° 0° 2 1 1 2 Diopters 1 2 135° 1. Holladay JT et al. Analysis of aggregate surgically induced refractive change, prediction error, and intraocular astigmatism. J Cataract Refract Surg 2001; 27:61-79.

  5. Methods: Covariates influencing the SIA • Multivariate linear modelling • Following possible covariates were examined:

  6. Results: Preoperative astigmatism PK group Control group Double angle minus cylinder plot, with an ellipse of 1 standard deviation (SD) Double angle minus cylinder plot, with an ellipse of 1 SD → No significant differences in mean preoperative astigmatism between two groups

  7. Results: SIA Control group PK group Double angle minus cylinder plot, with an ellipse of 1 SD Double angle minus cylinder plot, with an ellipse of 1SD → No significant differences in SIA between the two groups → Variability in SIA much larger in PK group

  8. Results:Covariates influencing the SIA Control group: The amount of preoperative astigmatism was a covariate significantly influencing the SIA at 3 years postoperatively (p<0.001). Control group PK group This continues variable was categorized in order to demonstrate its influence. Data shown as mean SIA with an ellipse of one SD. PK group: Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy as the indication for PK was a covariate significantly influencing the SIA at 3 years postoperatively (p=0.026). Data shown as mean SIA with an ellipse of one SD.

  9. Conclusion • Toric iris-fixated lens implantation induced a more variable amount of SIA in PK eyes, compared to control eyes. • We recommend to incorporate the expected SIA into the lens power calculation in control and PK eyes. Contact: nienke.visser@mumc.nl
