1.What is a Toric Intraocular Lens?

Astigmatism is a common refractive error due to uneven corneal curvature. Conventional intraocular lens could only correct long-sightness and short-sightness, but not astigmatism. Patients with astigmatism with conventional lens implants still need to wear glasses after the surgery. Nowadays, with the newly designed Toric Intraocular Lens, eye surgeons could also correct your pre-existing astigmatism during cataract surgery.
