Abstract
ImportanceAfter cataract surgery, postoperative residual astigmatism can influence a patient’s visual quality and satisfaction. Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted between October 2021 and September 2023 at the Eye Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, China. Patients with mild to moderate regular corneal astigmatism ranging from 0.75 diopters (D) to 3.00 D were recruited.InterventionsPatients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive FSAK or TIOL implantation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the subjective manifest refraction assessed at 3 months postoperatively.ResultsA total of 196 patients (mean [SD] age, 68.4 [13.7] years; 124 female [63%]) were randomized to the FSAK group (98 [50%]) or TIOL group (98 [50%]), and 92 patients (94%) and 95 patients (97%), respectively, finished the 3-month follow-up. At 3 months postoperatively, there was no difference in the refractive astigmatism between the 2 groups (mean [SD], 0.64 [0.64] D vs 0.54 [0.55] D; difference, 0.11 D; 95% CI, −0.06 to 0.27 D; P = .21). The mean (SD) uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.15 (0.20) logMAR (Snellen equivalent, 20/28) for the FSAK group and 0.14 (0.19) logMAR (Snellen equivalent, 20/28) for the TIOL group (difference, 0.01 D; 95% CI, −0.04 to 0.06 D; P = .71).
