NUREMBERG, Germany — Astigmatism of up to 3 D can be corrected with Rayner’s 571T toric IOL, said Tanja M. Rabsiler, MD, here at the German Ophthalmic Surgeons meeting.

According to Dr. Rabsiler, the lens showed excellent centering behavior with little rotation in a preliminary study of nine eyes of six patients implanted with the lens. Mean rotation was less than 3·, and on average there was less than 0.2 mm of decentration at 1 month postop.

While these initial results are favorable, Dr. Rabsiler said longer follow-up on the efficacy of the lens is needed.
