Rotational stability is key for optimizing postoperative visual outcomes because even a small degree of rotation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL) from its target axis can result in a significant reduction in astigmatic correction. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the rotational stability of toric IOLs of different lens models and haptic designs. All published studies and clinical trials that investigate postoperative rotation of toric IOLs were searched and evaluated. Quality of studies was assessed using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies scale. A single-arm metaanalysis was performed in R4.3.1 software with subgroup analysis performed based on lens model and haptic design. 51 published studies of 4863 eyes were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled mean absolute rotation of all toric IOLs was 2.36 degrees (95% CI, 2.08-2.64). Postoperative rotation is dependent on many aspects of lens material and design. Modern commercially available toric IOLs exhibit exceptional rotational stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
