Abstract
We report the outcomes of a custom-designed toric piggyback intraocular lens in a patient with high postoperative residual astigmatism. A 60-year-old male patient underwent customized toric piggyback IOL for postoperative residual astigmatism of 13 D, with follow-up examinations for IOL stability and refractive outcomes. The refractive error stabilized at two months and remained stable at one year, with a correction of nearly 9 D of astigmatism. The IOP remained within normal limits, and there were no postoperative complications. The IOL remained stable in the horizontal position. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of correction of unusually high astigmatism by a novel smart toric design of piggyback IOL.
