Astigmatism, a prevalent refractive error caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, can significantly affect visual acuity and the quality of life. Correcting astigmatism during cataract surgery is essential for achieving optimal postoperative visual outcomes. This comprehensive review examines recent innovations in astigmatism correction methods and their impact on cataract surgery. It provides an in-depth analysis of advancements such as toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and new IOL technologies designed to address astigmatism with greater precision. The review also evaluates clinical outcomes, including visual acuity improvements, patient satisfaction, and safety considerations associated with these innovations. Additionally, it explores the cost-effectiveness of various techniques and highlights emerging trends and future directions in the field. By synthesizing current evidence, this review aims to offer valuable insights for clinicians and inform best practices in astigmatism management during cataract surgery.
散光，一种由角膜或晶状体不规则弯曲引起的常见屈光不正，会显著影响视力和生活质量。在白内障手术中矫正散光对于实现最佳术后视觉效果至关重要。这篇综述探讨了散光矫正方法的最新创新及其对白内障手术的影响。它深入分析了诸如散光人工晶状体（IOL）、飞秒激光辅助白内障手术（FLACS）以及旨在更精确解决散光问题的新型IOL技术等进展。该综述还评估了临床结果，包括视力改善、患者满意度以及与这些创新相关的安全考量。此外，它还探讨了各种技术的成本效益，并突出了该领域的新兴趋势和未来方向。通过综合现有证据，本综述旨在为临床医生提供有价值的见解，并为白内障手术中散光管理的最佳实践提供参考。
