Method of Generating Random Sequence   Permuted block randomization, fixed 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the rotational stability of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) in pseudophakic eyes over a 6-
month follow-up period and assess their impact on visual function 
1 month ,3 month ,6 month 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the positional stability of Toric intraocular lenses over a 6 month follow - up period and
assess their impact on visual function. This will be achieved by analyzing the following parameter
17
• IOL decentration (iTrace)
• IOL tilt (AS-OCT)
• Anterior chamber depth (IOL Master & AS-OCT)
• Visual acuity (UCVA & BCVA)
• Higher-order aberrations (iTrace)
• Strehl ratio (iTrace)
2)To compare the two toric IOL designs included in the study—differing in haptic design and
material—based on the above measurements. The objective is to determine whether one lens design
demonstrates superior in vivo stability or results in better visual & optical outcomes across the
postoperative period.

Brief Summary  

This study focuses on assessing the positional stability of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted during cataract surgery for correction of corneal astigmatism. The success of a toric IOL depends on its rotational and axial stability within the capsular bag—any rotation, tilt, or decentration can significantly reduce the astigmatic correction and degrade visual quality.


The research compares two types of toric IOLs with different haptic designs—Type A (L-haptic) and Type B (C-loop)—to evaluate their stability using multimodal imaging techniques. These include Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) for measuring IOL tilt, decentration, and anterior chamber depth, and iTrace aberrometry for assessing IOL rotation, higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and visual quality indices such as the Strehl ratio.


This is a prospective randomized controlled trial, with patients stratified based on corneal toricity (low vs high). Following phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation, postoperative assessments are done at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, focusing primarily on rotational stability and secondarily on optical alignment, image quality, and visual acuity outcomes.


The findings are expected to help determine which haptic design provides superior postoperative stability, leading to more predictable refractive results, improved patient satisfaction, and enhanced guidelines for IOL selection in routine cataract surgery.
