Astigmatism is a common eye disorder caused by an uneven shape of the cornea or the lens of the eye, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Cataracts, on the other hand, are a common age-related eye problem that may make it difficult to see well. Cataract surgery is a common operation used to replace the clouded lens of the eye with a lens implant. There are, however, specialized lenses available for people with astigmatism that may treat both the cataract and the astigmatism, resulting in sharper vision. Dr. Cohen has done thousands of these surgeries, helping improve both vision and quality of life.
There are various kinds of astigmatism-correcting lenses for cataract surgery available. Cataract surgery has traditionally included replacing the clouded lens of the eye with a monofocal lens, which allows clear vision at a single distance. Those with astigmatism, on the other hand, may still have fuzzy vision following surgery if their astigmatism is not corrected. The common treatment for this is a toric lens implant correcting for astigmatism. Not all cataract surgeons are comfortable with this type of surgery. However, Dr. Cohen has done thousands of them with excellent results; View our testimonials here!
Toric lenses are another name for astigmatism-correcting lenses. Toric lenses have differing powers in various areas of the lens and are particularly developed to treat astigmatism. These lenses are placed into the eye during cataract surgery and are constructed from a flexible, foldable material. Toric lenses are available in monofocal and multifocal configurations. The monofocal toric lens allows for clear vision at a single distance, but the multifocal toric lens allows for clear vision at numerous distances. multifocal lenses are not appropriate for all individuals. Dr. Cohen has devoted his life to determining which option is best for his patients. Book a consultation with us today if you or someone you love may benefit from these lenses.
The severity of astigmatism, the patient’s age and lifestyle, and their general eye health all play a role in selecting the best astigmatism-correcting lens for cataract surgery. At the Cohen Eye Institute, we will examine your unique eyes and discuss with you in detail the options that are most suitable for your eyes’ condition.
When looking for a doctor to do my LASIK surgery, I was searching for someone with deep subject matter expertise, who is precise with a high degree of attention to detail, and who enjoyed and was enthusiastic about what they did.
