Question: what does a toric lens correct?
Answer: A normal eye's cornea and lens have a circular shape whereas an eye with astigmatism has a longer more oval shape. The AcrySof Toric® corrects for both conditions, cataracts and astigmatism. The Acrysof Toric® IOL is a foldable, single piece lens that is implanted during cataract surgery to replace the clouded lens.
