Toric Lens Implants

Toric Lens Implants are a type of Lens Implant that can correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is an optical aberration that is caused by the cornea being shaped more like a football, than spherical like a basketball.

For Cataract patients who have astigmatism, and who do not wish to wear eyeglasses to see clearly at a distance, choosing a Toric Lens Implant may  help them to be independent of glasses for tasks such as driving, that require clear distance vision. Toric Lens Implants do not correct Presbyopia, and thus even with Toric Lens Implants to correct astigmatism after Cataract Surgery, most patients still require reading glasses or bifocals to be able to comfortably perform near vision tasks such as reading and intermediate vision tasks such as computer work.

If you, a family member or friend are experiencing blurry or clouded vision, haloes around lights, double or shadowy vision, fading of colors or difficulty with night driving, you may wish to be checked for cataracts.
