Misalignment of a toric introaocular lens and reoperation after phacoemulsification with implantation of AT TORBI 709M: A case report

We aimed to report a case of two-time misalignment of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) AT TORBI 709M shortly after cataract surgery and the solution to the problem. A 53-year-old man had progressively decreased vision in his left eye (OS) for more than 5 years. The uncorrected visual acuity was 20/100 in the left eye. Phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation (AT TORBI 709M, +16.5D with cyl +2.5D) were smoothly performed in the left eye. Only 1 week after surgery, the toric IOL became misaligned. So repositioning surgery was performed 1 month later. However, the toric IOL misalignment reoccurred only 1 day after repositioning surgery. Finally, 2 weeks after repositioning surgery, toric lens replacement (Rayner T-flex Aspheric, +17.0D with cyl +2.5D) was performed in the left eye. The toric IOL became stable in the next 2 months. We concluded that Toric IOLs with larger size are more stable in larger eyes.
