How To Fix Astigmatism

The Cleveland Eye Clinic is pleased to offer the advanced AcrySof Toric® IOLs for astigmatism correction after cataract surgery. The recent advancements in intraocular lens (IOL) technology have now made it possible to provide an effective solution for patients that have astigmatism. Until recently, patients that were IOL candidates and had astigmatism had no option that would correct the astigmatism aspect of their visual condition during cataract surgery. Surgeons would typically perform refractive surgery or LASIK after the insertion of an IOL to correct the complete visual picture. With advancements in the optics of IOLs, manufacturers have now been able to accommodate astigmatism.

What is Astigmatism?

Many patients suffer from this common eye condition known as astigmatism. Often this astigmatism can lead to blurred or impaired vision if it becomes moderate or severe. The cause of blurred and impaired vision is the result of the eye’s cornea or lens having an irregular shape. A normal eye’s cornea and lens have a circular shape whereas an eye with astigmatism has a longer more oval shape.

What Are Toric IOL Lenses?

The AcrySof Toric® IOL corrects for both conditions, cataracts, and astigmatism. The Acrysof Toric® lens is a foldable, single-piece lens that is implanted during cataract surgery to replace the clouded lens. The unique design of the AcrySof Toric® IOL makes it possible to reduce or eliminate corneal astigmatism and significantly improve uncorrected distance vision.

Clinical Study Data for the Acrysof IQ Toric® IOL:

• • 94% of patients achieved an uncorrected distance of 20/40 or better
  • Improved contrast sensitivity in low-light situations
  • Significant reduction in both spherical and total high order aberrations
  • Improved Astigmatism light vision in challenging environments such as night driving, glare, and fog

I never post reviews, but your employee Bernadette is one exceptional lady. I took my mother, there and she was so helpful and attentive. Her ability to be accessible and friendly to everyone cannot be ignored. She greets everyone with a smile and even my mom was happy with her experience there. Thanks Bernadette for making my moms day.

Went to get an exam at the downtown office and Bernadette has got to be the most pleasant helpful woman I know. She helped with my paperwork and even made me coffee. She makes sure that everyone is taken care of. The help she gives the elderly is to be admired. She treats everyone with so much respect. I will definitely tell my coworkers and friends about this clinic..
