Cataract Eye Surgery Using Toric IOLs
If you have astigmatism, and have been told you have cataracts, the AcrySof Toric IOL may be a great option for treating both eye conditions in a single procedure. When Dr. Michael Loeffler replaces your eye’s cloudy, natural lens (cataract) with the Toric astigmatism-correcting lens implant, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your vision. Correcting your astigmatism during cataract surgery using the Toric IOL will give you sharp distance vision after surgery, so you can reduce or even eliminate your need for glasses for distance tasks.
If you are over age 50 and noticing changes in your vision, you may have cataracts. To learn more about cataract symptoms, or if you have been told you have a cataract you should visit an ophthalmologist for a cataract evaluation. If you live in Lighthouse Point, Deerfield, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, or any other city in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Loeffler to determine if you have cataracts and discuss your lens implant options.
