    Toric Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

    Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) are an advanced type of artificial lens used in cataract surgery that can correct for astigmatism (blurry vision) at the same time as they replace a natural cornea that has become clouded by a cataract.

    We use the AcrySof Toric lens, which is a single-piece lens uniquely designed to reduce or eliminate corneal astigmatism and appreciably improve distance vision. It can also filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
