We are often asked if cataract surgery can “fix” astigmatism. The answer is absolutely! Many options are available for this type of correction. With Toric IOL - AcrySof® Toric / Astigmatic Premium Lens Implants, you can think of cataract surgery as refractive surgery as well. If you are seeking a cataract surgery expert and have astigmatism please feel free to consult with Dr. Belinda Dobson at Eye Care Center. There are NEW options available for patients that have astigmatism and need an IOL for after cataract removal. The AcrySof® Toric IOLs are artificial lenses which are ideal for individuals who have cataracts and also suffer from astigmatism. This lens is manufactured by Alcon Technologies a widely known and respected producer of intraocular implants.
