Toric Intraocular Lens

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — Surgeons need to consider the risks and possible refractive outcomes before implanting a premium IOL in a patient with glaucoma, according to a presentation at Hawaiian Eye 2022.

Improving toric IOL designs plus advanced diagnostic technology can improve surgeons’ confidence.

It is not necessary in every case that patients with irregular astigmatism should be denied the benefits of new technology IOLs, or NTIOLs.

Advances in toric IOL technology and the option to correct presbyopia and astigmatism with the same lens have significantly widened the pool of potential advanced-technology IOL users, offering the benefits of spectacle-free vision.

NEW YORK — In this Healio Video Perspective from OSN New York, Uday Devgan, MD, discusses when it is best to choose a toric IOL or perform a corneal incision technique to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery.

It’s amazing to think of all the science and technology utilized for cataract surgery, from sophisticated biometry and preoperative surgical guidance and planning tools to the latest femtosecond lasers, phaco machines and multifocal IOLs.
