The latest in a long line of IOL innovations from
Alcon, the new Toric IOL takes the most trusted platform for precise
astigmatism correction and adds the enhanced image quality of an aspheric lens.
For cataract patients with regular astigmatism,
toric IOLs provide the potential for better uncorrected visual acuity than they
have ever had. For surgeons, though, toric lenses pose a challenge because even
small errors in an IOL’s position may significantly affect the patient’s
uncorrected visual acuity—more so than they would with a spherical IOL.
Positioning errors have the largest impact at
higher cylinder powers, which became available in the United States last spring
for AcrySof (Alcon) toric IOLs, Now that the -T8 and -T9 AcrySof torics are
coming online, it’s more important than ever for us to talk about this,Those
lenses have to be perfectly aligned, or you will have a lot of residual
astigmatism in the eye.
