First Implantation of AMO Tecnis Toric IOL by Dr Suresh K Pandey at SuVi Eye Institute Lasik Laser Center, Kota India

Dear All, In this video, we share pearls for the first implantation of the AMO Tecnis Toric IOL performed on October 9, 2012 at SuVi Eye Institute & Lasik Laser Center, Kota, Rajasthan, India (www.suvieye.com) . This 39 years old patient presented with posterior sub-capsular cataract with with-the-rule corneal astigmatism of 1.62 Diopters. Phaco-aspiration of soft cataract was performed using AMO Signature System with Ellips Transveral Ultrasound with FX. The AMO Tecnis Toric (ZCT 150, 21.50 D) was implanted in the capsular bag and precisely aligned along the steep axis (90 degree). The  postop vision was 6/6 (p) and N6 with addition of plus 2.50 diopters. The AMO Tecnis Toric IOL contains a toric component on the posterior surface of the optic, but is otherwise structurally identical to the AMO Tecnis one-piece IOL. Implantation of the Amo TecnisToric IOL seems to be an effective and safe method for astigmatism correction in cataract patients, and requires only small modifications from a standard phaco-procedure. The Tecnis Toric 1-Piece IOL combines wavefront designed aspheric and toric optic technologies on a hydrophobic acrylic platform for sharper distance vision without spectacles to correct preexisting corneal astigmatism. It reduces spherical aberration to essentially zero for sharper vision, reduces chromatic aberration for better image quality, and features the company's Tri-Fix 3-Point Fixation haptic design for stability and centration.
