Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), objective refraction, astigmatism vector analysis were assessed preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively; corneal aberrations were compared preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both groups showed comparable outcomes in visual acuity, refraction postoperatively. Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) showed a decreasing trend in the LRI group (1.07 to 0.92, P\u00a0=\u00a00.044), while it remained stable in the TICL group (1.11 to 1.20, P\u00a0=\u00a00.507). Total corneal wavefront aberrations, spherical aberration and horizontal coma postoperatively showed reduction in LRI group, whereas slightly increased in the TICL group (all P&amp;lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both ICL combined with LRI and TICL implantation achieve good efficacy in correcting moderate astigmatism.
