The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BDVA) and residual astigmatism (RAS) were assessed at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months postoperatively, while the degree of toric IOL rotation was recorded at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months postoperatively. The correlation between IOL rotation and RAS, intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and white-to-white (WTW) distance was analyzed. Patient satisfaction was evaluated in both groups 3 months postoperatively. Independent sample <i>t</i>-test was used for comparison between the two groups, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to assess changes in IOL rotation, RAS and visual acuity at various postoperative time points. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between continuous variables.ResultsA total of 72 eyes (36 per group) were included with no significant difference in patient characteristics between the two groups. The average postoperative degree of toric IOL rotation in Group A at 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month was greater than that in Group B (8.38 ± 4.19°vs 4.45 ± 2.40°, 7.78 ± 6.87°vs 3.95 ± 2.14°, and 8.23 ± 4.72°vs 4.09 ± 2.12°, respectively, all <i>P</i> < 0.05). Postoperative RAS and spherical equivalent (SE) were better in Group B than Group A (all <i>P</i> < 0.05). More patients in Group B achieved RAS within 0.50D than in Group A (23 vs 14). RAS was positively correlated with IOL rotation in both groups. Patients in Group B achieved a better UDVA than in Group A, whereas no statistical difference in BDVA was found between groups. No significant correlations were found between toric IOL rotation and IOP, AL, ACD, and WTW distance either in Group A or Group B (all <i>P </i>><i> </i>0.05).
