PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of microincision cataract surgery (MICS) with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to correct moderate to high astigmatism in patients with cataract.SETTING: Vissum-Instituto Oftalmologico de Alicante, Alicante, Spain.METHODS: This prospective nonrandomized study comprised patients with visually significant cataract and moderate to high astigmatism (>2.00 diopters [D]). After MICS, an Acri.Comfort 646 TLC toric IOL was implanted in the capsular bag. The uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, residual refractive sphere, residual refractive and keratometric cylinders, and IOL axis alignment were measured after 3 months. Vector analysis of astigmatism was by the Alpins method.RESULTS: The study included 21 eyes (12 patients). The UDVA was 20/40 or better in 16 eyes (76.1%), and the CDVA was 20/30 or better in 18 eyes (85.7%). The mean refractive cylinder decreased significantly after surgery, from -4.46 D +/- 2.23 (SD) to -0.45 +/- 0.63 D (P
