Toric Intraocular Lens Implant correcting corneal astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common vision condition resulting from an irregular curvature of the eye’s cornea or lens, leading to blurred or distorted vision. Unlike eye diseases or health problems, astigmatism is a refractive error affecting how the eye focuses light. This condition affects millions in the United States, with over three million new cases reported annually. Fortunately, astigmatism is treatable with various correction methods, including surgical and non-surgical options.
Astigmatism Surgery Options
If you have significant astigmatism the doctors at the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute can help you find a solution. We specialize in astigmatism surgery and trusted astigmatism correction procedures.
Depending on the severity of your condition, there are many different ways to correct astigmatism. During cataract surgery, relaxing incisions (Astigmatic Keratometry) can be made in the cornea to treat astigmatism. Additionally, a toric lens implant can be placed at the time of cataract surgery to correct astigmatism.
Astigmatism Correction
If you do not need cataract surgery or astigmatism surgery, your astigmatism can also be corrected by laser vision correction (LASIK or Advanced Surface Ablation) or Astigmatic Keratometry.
Astigmatism is a treatable condition that can be effectively managed through various surgical and non-surgical options. At Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute, we offer a range of advanced procedures, including LASIK, Advanced Surface Ablation, and Clear Lens Extraction, to help you achieve clear and precise vision.
