Video Description
Toric lenses are specially designed intraocular lenses (IOLs) that not only replace the clouded natural lens during cataract surgery but also correct astigmatism—a common refractive error caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens.
In this video, Dr. Adrian Sandeep Braganza, Head of the Cataract Department, Consultant for Cataract & Glaucoma Services at Narayana Nethralaya, explains how Toric IOLs work and why they are recommended for patients with astigmatism undergoing cataract surgery.
Unlike standard spherical IOLs, Toric lenses have varying refractive powers in different meridians (typically horizontal and vertical) to correct the eye’s uneven shape.
For individuals with both cataracts and astigmatism, Toric IOLs offer the advantage of improved visual clarity and reduced dependence on glasses after surgery. A detailed pre-surgical evaluation ensures optimal alignment and the best possible visual outcomes.
