Authors' recommendations:
As regards phakic toric IOLs, only one clinical trial has been found assessing this technology compared with non-invasive refractive surgery showing that this is an effective technology or UCVA in patients with astigmatism associated to moderate to severe short-sightedness.In the case of patients with clear crystalline, the decision about treating the refractive defect with non-invasive or invasive procedures (toric IOLs) will depend on the condition of the cornea, the patient's preferences, the extent of short-sightedness or long-sightedness and corneal astigmatism in the patient.As regards pseudophakic toric IOL, the available trials (RCTs) have shown it is an effective therapeutic alternative for the UCVA results when compared with monofocal IOLs plus intra-limbal incisions or monofocal IOL plus opposite clear corneal incisions. The treatment of choice shall depend on the accessibility the patient has to the treatment.
