AcrySof® Toric Intraocular Lens

Surgery to treat cataracts is an outpatient procedure where an eye surgeon removes the natural, clouded lens and replaces it with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). Traditionally, the surgeon implants a monofocal IOL. If you have astigmatism, however, you may still experience blurred and distorted vision because a standard IOL cannot correct corneal astigmatism.

The AcrySof® Toric intraocular lens (IOL) provides cataract patients with astigmatism the chance to reduce or eliminate their corneal astigmatism and treat the cataract at the same time in one step.

The AcrySof® Toric intraocular lens (IOL) is a foldable, single piece lens that an eye surgeon implants during cataract surgery to replace the clouded lens. The unique design of the AcrySof® Toric IOL makes it possible to reduce or eliminate astigmatism and significantly improve uncorrected vision.
