Eyerium Ophthalmology Clinic: Comparison between Artiflex Toric and limbal relaxing incisions for correcting myopic astigmatism

Dr David Sung Yong Kang, Eyereung Eye Clinic, Seoul Korea, presents the results from a clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of toric foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation and limbal relaxing incisions for correcting moderate-to-high myopic astigmatism.
Dr. Kang's take home message is:
Both two surgical methods considerably reduce astigmatism and have comparable visual outcomes.
However, toric PIOL implantation is more reliable for moderate-to-high astigmatic correction.
