Purpose
To assess initial clinical outcomes in cataract patients with corneal astigmatism implanted with aberration-neutral, hydrophobic acrylic monofocal toric (MX60T, Bausch & Lomb, Inc.) intraocular lens (IOL) technology. 

Methods
A single-center, single-surgeon, prospective case series involving 117 eyes of 86 patients (31 bilateral) with age-related cataract and clinically significant corneal astigmatism treated with standard cataract extraction and implanted with the MX60T IOL. Early postoperative outcomes were analyzed and compared with preoperative parameters. Clinical outcomes include: keratometry (K), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), refractive cylinder (Cyl), manifest spherical equivalent (MRSE), and safety (reposition).

Results
Preoperative delta K, Cyl, and MRSE were 1.6±0.94D, -1.72D±1.0D, and -1.71±3.9D respectively. Average BCDVA without glare was 0.2±0.18 logMAR. At 1-week post-op, both cylinder and MRSE improved (Cyl: -0.34±0.54D and MRSE: plano±0.33D). Average UCDVA was 0.09±0.14 logMAR with 75% of eyes seeing 20/25 or better. One patient required repositioning and improved to 20/20 UCDVA with a 0.25D MRSE.

Conclusion
Patients implanted with aberration-neutral monofocal toric IOL demonstrated excellent uncorrected distance visual acuity and exceptional reduction in refractive cylinder postoperatively.
