Multifocal toric IOL outperforms peripheral corneal relaxing incisions, standard multifocal

Both a multifocal toric IOL and a non-toric multifocal IOL combined with peripheral corneal relaxing incisions reduced astigmatism, but the toric IOL demonstrated several advantages, according to study results.The prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial included 30 patients with visually significant cataracts and 1 D to 2.5 D of corneal astigmatism who received a multifocal toric IOL in one eye and a non-toric multifocal IOL combined with one or two peripheral corneal relaxing incisions (PCRIs) in the fellow eye.
