Toric IOLs are the astigmatism correcting version of each of the 3 major IOL types available in Australia – monofocal, extended depth of focus and multifocal IOLs. Technically, the steps during the operation are the same between IOL types, however toric IOLs are orientated on a specific axis inside the eye.
This axis has been specifically calculated for your eye, based on the measurements taken at your pre-operative assessment.
