How successful are toric lenses?

Toric lens implants are lenses that are surgically inserted inside the eye to replace the native lens as part of a cataract or refractive lens exchange procedure.Toric lenses are highly effective in 95 percent of patients, allowing them to see objects well at a distance without the use of any other corrective lenses.

Are toric lenses safe for cataract surgery?

Toric lens implants are completely safe and provide no additional medical risks. They do not produce halos or other optical side effects because they are still single-focus lenses. They do not necessitate any changes to the cataract surgery procedure and do not effectively lengthen the surgical duration.To know more about the toric lenses for cataract surgery book your appointment with the best doctors at Khatib Eye Clinic.

What is the advantage of toric lenses?

Toric lens implants are lenses that are placed within the eye to substitute the native lens as half of a cataract or refractive lens exchange procedure.At the same time as correcting cataracts, the TORIC Lens can minimise or eliminate corneal astigmatism. As a result, distant vision is usually improved, and distance vision is less reliant on eyeglasses or contacts. It also blocks ultraviolet and blue light, which are both dangerous.

Which is better for cataract surgery, laser or traditional?

Both approaches are highly effective and safe.” To put it another way, the research suggests that individuals who have laser-assisted cataract surgery see roughly as well as those who have traditional cataract surgery on average. Neither significantly better nor significantly worse.To know more about the toric lenses for cataract surgery book your appointment with the best doctors at Khatib Eye Clinic.

Toric Lens Implants

Toric IOLs offer patients with moderate astigmatism better vision without glasses. Astigmatism, a common eye condition caused by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens, causes distorted or blurred vision. Other IOLs don’t correct astigmatism, so you might need glasses to correct it after cataract surgery. If you want better vision without glasses, a toric IOL could be for you.

With a toric IOL, you usually wear glasses for reading, computer work, and other close-up activities. It is possible to have toric lenses for near vision (close focus) or to set one eye for distance and one for near.

Khatib Eye Clinic offers the Alcon AcrySof Toric lens implant.

Toric Lens Implants are a unique type of lens implant that are used to correct astigmatism.

Toric Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

In the past, cataract surgery was not designed to correct astigmatism. However, more modern techniques allow us to reduce astigmatism during cataract surgery. Toric IOLs are similar to monofocal IOLs, except that toric IOLs also have a certain amount of astigmatism correction built-in. By reducing astigmatism, toric IOLs reduce dependence on glasses. By opting for a toric IOL, many patients with astigmatism will be able to see more clearly at distance without glasses, and use glasses just for reading. Patients who opt not to correct astigmatism will usually have to wear bifocals at all times after cataract surgery.
