Toric Lens Implants
Fillmore Eye Clinic offers the AcrySof Toric lens implant, a design proven to correct both cataracts and astigmatism simultaneously. Implanted in the eye to restore single-distance vision after cataract surgery, the AcrySof Toric lens has a unique patented design that provides both spherical and astigmatic correction. The AcrySoft Toric lens offers these advantages over traditional lens implants:
- Correction of corneal astigmatism
- Enhanced clarity and quality of uncorrected distance vision
- Filtered blue light protection
- Rich, vibrant color perception
The AcrySof Toric lens is ideal for patients who wish to be corrected for distance vision and are comfortable wearing glasses. Because this lens does not offer the ability to accommodate or adjust one’s vision to varying distances, glasses would be required for near and intermediate tasks for people who have this implant.
The AcrySof Toric lens implant is also an excellent choice for those who drive a lot at night, as it delivers great clarity with minimal reports of glare or halos under both bright and dim lighting conditions.
Advantages of the AcrySof Toric Lens Implant
- The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens is designed to correct for nearsightedness or farsightedness and corneal astigmatism of the human eye.
- The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens is designed to have the lens capsule “shrink wrap” around it. This helps the lens stay stable and centered within the eye.
- The patented yellow color of the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens implant is biocompatible and bonded to the structure of the acrylic material.
- The yellow color of the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens implant, approximates the natural discoloration (i.e., natural yellowing) of a healthy adult crystalline lens, without a negative impact on color perception.
- The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens implant is compatible with secondary cataract treatment (i.e., Nd:YAG laser treatment), if required.
The AcrySof Toric lens is available in a wide range of optical powers that effectively correct eyes that are nearsighted and farsighted. As each patient is unique, both in physiology and in viewing distance preferences, the correct power intraocular lens will be selected using biometry equipment. An in-depth discussion of your needs and options will take place with your eye surgeon at Fillmore Eye Clinic.
