Abstract

We describe 2 cases in which a spontaneously rotated toric intraocular lens (IOL) was fixated and stabilized using the femtosecond laser to create a primary posterior capsulotomy for posterior optic capture. We also review the literature on previous techniques that have been used to prevent or stabilize recurrent toric IOL rotation. The design of toric IOLs must be evaluated further to determine the risk for rotation in myopic eyes.
