About this trial
This prospective comparative cohort study evaluates and compares postoperative rotational stability and time-course dynamics of three commercially available toric intraocular lenses (TECNIS Toric II \[ZCU\], AcrySof IQ Toric, and AT TORBI 709M) after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Rotation is quantified by registering postoperative retroillumination photographs to the end-of-surgery baseline using iris/scleral landmarks, with follow-up at postoperative day 1, day 3, week 1, week 2, month 1, and month 3. Associations between rotational outcomes and ocular biometric parameters are analyzed using linear mixed-effects models to inform individualized IOL selection and perioperative management.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Eligible for implantation of one of the three study toric intraocular lenses based on preoperative evaluation.
Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent.
Disqualifiers
History of prior ocular surgery in the study eye.
History of ocular trauma in the study eye.
Irregular corneal astigmatism or corneal pathology affecting reliable biometric measurement.
Intraoperative complications, including anterior capsular tear or posterior capsular rupture.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Absolute rotational misalignment of toric intraocular lens (IOL) measured in degrees
Absolute rotation of the implanted toric intraocular lens (IOL) relative to the intended axis, measured in degrees. Rotation will be quantified by registering postoperative retroillumination images to the end-of-surgery baseline frame using iris or scleral landmarks. The absolute rotation angle will be calculated for each follow-up visit.
Secondary outcomes
Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA)
Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) measured using a standardized logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity chart during follow-up.
Postoperative residual refractive astigmatism measured in diopters
Residual refractive astigmatism measured by manifest refraction during follow-up visits and reported in diopters (D).
