N2 - Purpose: To evaluate the stability of axis rotation, astigmatism correction, and improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) up to 6 months postoperatively using an astigmatism-correcting intraocular lens (IOL) in a 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery. Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa, Japan. Design: Prospective nonrandomized interventional study. Method: Eyes with a preoperative corneal cylinder of more than 0.75 diopter (D) had a triple procedure for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) using an Acrysof IQ toric IOL. Outcome measures were the amount of IOL axis rotation up to 3 months postoperatively, UDVA, corrected distance visual acuity, and corneal and refractive astigmatism up to 6 months postoperatively. A comparison was performed between patients with a target postoperative spherical refraction of emmetropia (toric emmetropic group) and patients who previously had a triple procedure for idiopathic ERM using a nontoric IOL (control group). Results: The mean IOL axis rotation from the end of surgery until 3 months postoperatively was 3.67 degrees ± 3.13 (SD). Six months postoperatively, the mean corneal and refractive cylinders were 1.32 ± 0.61 D and 0.51 ± 0.31 D, respectively, showing a significant difference (P<.0001, paired t test). In addition, the mean UDVA was significantly improved 6 months postoperatively in the control and toric emmetropic group (0.57 logMAR versus 0.35 logMAR) (P=.028), although the toric group was more improved than the control group. Conclusion: In vitrectomy (triple procedure) for idiopathic ERM with a toric IOL, postoperative IOL axis stability was similar to that reported for cataract surgery alone. Furthermore, the UDVA was better than with implantation of a spherical IOL. Financial Disclosure: No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
