Toric Lens Implants
AcrySofToric IQ IOL - Toric IQ IOL implants after cataract surgery
Toric Lens Implants are a unique type of lens implant that is used to correct astigmatism. Asymmetric steepening of the cornea or natural lens causes light to be focused unevenly, which is the main optical problem in astigmatism. To individuals with uncorrected astigmatism, images may look blurry or shadowed. Astigmatism can accompany any form of refractive error and is very common. A toric lens implant is NOT the only method of astigmatism correction so consult a doctor about the current possibilities. Astigmatism can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, corneal relaxing incisions, laser vision correction, and special implant lenses. If a cataract patient has astigmatism and has aspirations to be glasses free after surgery the Toric lens implant is a good option. TORIC IQ lens implants are NOT a correction option for presbyopia. The AcrySof® TORIC IQ lens implant is a popular choice for this type of lens.
Understanding Astigmatism
As mentioned above the Toric IOL is used in cases of astigmatism. Asymmetric steepening of the cornea or natural lens causes light to be focused unevenly, which is the main optical problem in astigmatism. To individuals with uncorrected astigmatism, images may look blurry or shadowed. Astigmatism can accompany any form of refractive error and is very common.
