    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the refractive outcomes and rotational stability after implantation of a multifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) with a surface-embedded near section. SETTING: Private center, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Case series. METHODS: This study evaluated eyes with more than 1.50 diopters (D) of preexisting corneal astigmatism. After phacoemulsification, Lentis Mplus toric IOLs were implanted in all cases. The main outcome measures were refraction, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), keratometry, and IOL position. Three-month postoperative data are presented. RESULTS: The study enrolled 89 eyes (58 patients). The mean monocular postoperative UDVA and UNVA were 0.03 logMAR ± 0.11 (SD) and 0.17 ± 0.14 logMAR, respectively. The mean refractive cylinder decreased from 2.90 ± 1.31 D preoperatively to 0.50 ± 0.39 D postoperatively (P<.001). The mean difference between the planned axis of implantation and the actual axis postoperatively was 2.53 ± 2.27 degrees. CONCLUSION: The multifocal toric IOL with a surface-embedded near section effectively corrected preexisting corneal astigmatism. The IOL was stable in the capsular bag, there were no visually significant complications, and there was no significant rotation out to 3 months postoperatively.
