Popis: We report the outcomes of implantation of a supplementary toric intraocular lens (IOL) in 2 Chinese patients with high residual postoperative astigmatism. Both patients achieved a significant reduction in astigmatism and anisometropic symptoms, resulting in an overall improved visual quality and level of satisfaction. As an alternative to excimer laser procedures, a sulcus-placed supplementary toric IOL is a safe and effective alternative for patients with significant postoperative astigmatism, giving surgeons a valuable additional tool in the pursuit of achieving the best visual acuity for patients.
