Toric Lenses: Correct Astigmatism During Cataract Surgery

Many patients come to South Florida Laser Eye Center with not only cataracts but also astigmatism (with or without nearsightedness and farsightedness). Having worn glasses or contact lenses their entire lives, they are often surprised to learn that having cataract surgery can correct their astigmatism as well.

Toric Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) are Lifestyle Lenses that replace the cloudy lens that is removed during cataract surgery. Toric IOLs allow for clear distance vision. The lens is permanently placed in the exact position in the eye to adjust for the unique shape of your cornea.

Toric Lifestyle lenses can reduce or eliminate your need for glasses after cataract surgery.
