AStigmatism Correction and Cataract surgery

The TORIC Lens Implant has the ability to reduce or eliminate corneal astigmatism at the same time it corrects cataracts. The result is typically improved vision distance vision and less dependence on eyeglasses or contacts for distance vision. It also filters out harmful ultraviolet and blue light.

The TORIC lens allows your surgeon to clear your vision at the time of Cataract surgery and also reduce or eliminate astigmatism. With the Toric Lens, there is no need for additional surgeries or eyewear to address the astigmatism problem. The Acrysof Toric lens implant has been shown in clinical studies to provide good uncorrected distance vision in patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
