AcrySof Toric IOL
Surgery to treat cataracts is an outpatient procedure where an eye surgeon removes the clouded natural lens and replaces it with an artificial 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. Now, a revolutionary new technology makes it possible for the surgeon to perform a single outpatient procedure in which the clouded cataract lens is exchanged for an IOL designed to correct astigmatism as well. The AcrySof® Toric IOL lens can help you to enjoy quality distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The AcrySof Toric lens 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 corneal astigmatism and significantly improve uncorrected distance vision. You may be able to break free from eyeglasses or contact lenses for distance vision in just one step, without the need for additional surgical procedures. Dr. Paul Ernest encouraged the development of this lens. In the FDA clinical trials, 97% of the patients bilaterally implanted with the AcrySof Toric IOL were spectacle free for distance vision. Ask your doctor if you are a candidate for the AcrySof Toric IOL lens that can help you break free from astigmatism and may allow you to enjoy quality distance vision without eyeglasses or contact lenses.
