Toric IOLs offer several advantages, including: Precise astigmatism correction: Corrects irregular corneal curvature. Improved visual acuity: Enhances sharpness and clarity of vision. Reduced dependence on glasses: Reduces need for glasses or contact lenses.
Pros of toric lens implants include improved visual acuity, reduced dependence on corrective lenses, and a high success rate. Cons of toric lens implants include potential risks and complications such as infection, inflammation, and lens rotation.
When selecting your implant lens type, toric lenses may offer benefits in reducing astigmatism – as these lenses refocus light more effectively than regular lenses can, and allow for improved vision without glasses or bifocals.
A toric lens is one type of premium implant used to replace the natural clouded lens during cataract surgery. These weighted IOLs are specially designed to fix both astigmatism (irregularly shaped corneas or lenses that cause blurred vision) and refractive errors.
To correct astigmatism effectively, a toric IOL has to be positioned precisely within the eye, with the astigmatism correction aligned perfectly with the astigmatism present in the eye. Also, the toric IOL must be securely positioned so it does not rotate after it is implanted.
Share. 11 Min Read. Toric IOLs can be an excellent option for many individuals with astigmatism undergoing cataract surgery, yet require precise placement and rotation in order to effectively correct astigmatism. Surgeons experienced in implanting these lenses can share valuable tips for achieving better outcomes using this premium option. Contents
Although toric intraocular lenses are considered a “premium” option—one that can have a profound impact on a patient’s vision—they involve far fewer potential visual tradeoffs than premium options such as multifocal IOLs.
