Abstract: Refractive intraocular lens surgery can be used for the treatment of moderate and high regular astigmatism. Refractive intraocular lens surgery includes aphakic intraocular lens surgery and phakic intraocular lens surgery. In phakic intraocular lens surgery two types of intraocular lenses are used: irisclaw intraocular lens and posterior chamber intraocular lens. The purpose of this article is to review current knowledge of surgical treatments of astigmatism with a particular focus on toric implantable collamer lenses.   (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2013, 37: 5-9)
