PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and rotational stability of an injectable 1-piece hydrophilic acrylic toric intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Hillingdon Hospital, Uxbridge, Middlesex, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Cohort study. METHODS: This study enrolled consecutive @entity1 who had 2.00 diopters (D) or more of preexisting corneal @entity940 . @entity1 had phacoemulsification with implantation of a T-flex 623T toric IOL through a 2.8 mm astigmatically neutral incision. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities (logMAR), refraction, keratometry, and the cylinder @entity2270 of the toric IOL were measured. RESULTS: Thirty-three eyes of 25 @entity1 were evaluated. The mean preoperative refractive @entity940 was 3.35 D    1.20 (SD) and the mean keratometric @entity940 , 3.98    1.89 D, respectively. Four months postoperatively, the mean UDVA was 0.28    0.23 D logMAR, improving to 0.19    0.23 D logMAR CDVA. The mean refractive @entity940 was 0.95 D    0.66 D; vector analysis using the Holladay-Cravy-Koch method showed that the mean reduction in refractive @entity940 was 2.94    0.89 D. The mean difference between the intended and the actual final IOL cylinder @entity2270 was 3.44 degrees (range 0 to 12). CONCLUSIONS: The toric IOL reduced visually significant keratometric @entity940 and increased spectacle independence after @entity231 surgery. There were no cases of significant @entity717 in the capsular bag 4 months postoperatively.
