An analysis of the visual results when using toric lenses in cataract surgery

“…In the present study, it demonstrated a greater frequency of cataract surgery in female participants, similar to many recently published works (8,10,14,15,16,17,18) . This analysis may be related to two factors: women's greater concern for their health, therefore seeking more medical care and the longevity of eldery women.…”

“…All of these statistically significant findings seem to support the reasoning of worldwide literature (8,15,17,18,19) . Except the axis of astigmatism, which varies greatly between studies, as in Ahmed et al (10) , that preoperatively the trend was in favor of the rule and after phacoemulsification it became the majority against the rule.…”

“…A rapid change has occurred in the technique used for cataract surgery in all developed countries, with a progressive increase of phacoemulsification and more recently it has been associated with the use of femtosecond laser (5,6,7) . These procedures have increasingly gained a refractive purpose, demanding perfect visual results (1,7,8,9) . One of the great difficulties of obtaining this refractive excellence is the existence of a preoperative astigmatism.…”
