        Purpose: To evaluate stability of toric IOL model TSN60T3-T4-T5 
        (Alcon) after cataract surgery with endocapsular IOL implantation. 
        Methods: 23 eyes were operated. Age of patients was from 35 to 74 
        years. Vertical meridian of cornea was marked before surgery and 
        steep axis – during surgery. Diameter of anterior CCC was 4 – 
        4,5 mm. Cataract was removed using phacoemulsification method 
        and IOL (SA60T5 – 16, SA60T4 – 4, SA60T3 – 3 units) inserted through 
        2,2mm temporal corneal incision. OVD were removed carefully, 
        especially from behind of the IOL optics. IOL was stuck to the posterior 
        capsule after aligning of marks on the IOL with markers of steep 
        meridian of cornea. No sutures were placed. Results: Position of the 
        toric element of IOL during follow-up time (1 month) was almost 
        stable; rotation of IOL first day after surgery was 1,73 ± 1,21  (max 
        4°) and 1,79 ± 1,55  (max 4°) after 1 months. Uncorrected/corrected 
        visual acuity 1 day after surgery was 0,88 ± 0,23/0,90 ± 0,22 and 
        0,85 € 0,10/0,92 ± 0,06 1 months after surgery respectively. Conclusions: 
        Available toric IOL made from hydrophobic acrylic material 
        after endocapsular implantation is a good option for preoperative 
      astigmatism of moderate degree correction.
