To describe the use of  toric trans-plugs IOL to correct aphakia with significant corneal astigmatism.

Case report

A 62-year-old man with an history of aphakia  in his left eye after a traumatic cataract extraction and significant corneal astigmatism was referred to our clinic. Surgery plan was cataract remnants removal and secondary IOL implantation of toric sutureless trans-scleral plugs fixated IOL  (SSF lens, Soleko, Italy).  The postoperative course was uneventful. At 12 months, the IOL was well-centered and the optic alignment remained stable with minimal total astigmatism. The uncorrected  distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/25 Snellen while correct distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 20/20 with a manifest refraction of + 0.25 – 75  40°; the patient was satisfied by the visual outcome

This novel toric trans-scleral plug fixated lens  provides valuable outcomes also for astigmatic  correction for a comprehensive correction of  the aphakia in patients  with poor zonular support and high expectations for postoperative visual quality
