About Toric IOL Implantation
A toric IOL is an artificial lens that corrects astigmatism as well as replacing the cataract. It is for people with significant corneal astigmatism who want clearer distance vision with less reliance on glasses.
The toric lens is implanted during standard cataract surgery, a day case under local or topical anaesthesia with light sedation. The surgeon marks the axis of astigmatism, makes a 2 to 3 mm corneal incision, removes the cloudy lens and rotates the toric lens to the exact angle in the capsule. Precise alignment is what makes it work.
Usually a good fit if
- Cataract with at least moderate regular corneal astigmatism.
- Wanting good distance vision with less dependence on glasses.
- Healthy macula and stable, regular cornea.
- Able to attend early reviews to check lens position.
May need to wait if
- Irregular astigmatism such as keratoconus.
- Zonular weakness or a capsule that cannot hold the lens steady.
- Severe dry eye or macular disease.
- Unrealistic expectations of glasses-free vision.
How to prepare
- Complete biometry, corneal topography and tomography to confirm regular astigmatism; stop contact lens wear beforehand.
- Bring prior eye history, including laser surgery or corneal disease.
- Treat dry eye before measurements.
- Review medicines with your doctor; do not stop any without instruction.
- Arrange transport and early reviews.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What amount of astigmatism will the lens correct and how is the power calculated?
- How will the lens axis be aligned during surgery?
- What is the chance of the lens rotating and needing repositioning?
- Will I need glasses for reading?
- Could a laser touch-up be needed?
- Who will do follow-up at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No corneal tomography before choosing a toric lens.
- Not mentioning the possibility of rotation and repositioning.
- Promising total glasses independence.
- No record of lens power and axis.
