What Is Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL?
Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL is a surgical procedure in which the eye's natural cloudy lens, affected by cataract, is removed and replaced with a monofocal toric intraocular lens. The monofocal lens provides clear focus at a single distance, typically far, while the toric design addresses corneal astigmatism by having different powers along specific meridians. This procedure is commonly performed on adults experiencing visual impairment from cataracts and may be planned as a single or sequential surgery for both eyes.
How It Works
Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL begins with the administration of local anesthesia and antiseptic preparation of the eye. A small corneal incision is created, and a phacoemulsification device is used to break up and remove the natural cloudy lens. The monofocal toric IOL is then carefully implanted using an injector system and positioned with precision to align its meridians with the patient’s corneal astigmatism. The incision is self-sealing in most cases, and no stitches are typically required. Specialized microscopes and imaging equipment are used to ensure exact placement of the lens.

3. Local anesthesia will be applied.
4. The cloudy lens will be removed through a micro-incision.
5. A monofocal toric IOL will be implanted.
6. Eye drops may be prescribed.
7. Post-care instructions will be provided.
Advantages and Limitations of Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL
<Advantages>

Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL Preparation
· Avoid contact lenses for at least 3 days before surgery
· Avoid makeup, lotions, or creams on the day of surgery
· Discontinue the use of blood thinners for at least 2 weeks before surgery

FAQ
Q1: How long does Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL last?
A1: Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL provides long-lasting results. The implanted lens is designed to remain in place and function effectively for a lifetime, though the natural aging of the eyes may affect overall vision over time.
Q2: Can Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL correct all types of astigmatism?
A2: Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL corrects corneal astigmatism by aligning along the specific meridian of the eye. However, a very complex or irregular astigmatism may require additional procedures or lens options, as not all types can be fully corrected with a toric IOL alone.
Q3: Will glasses still be needed after Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL?
A3: Glasses may still be needed for near-vision tasks, such as reading or detailed work, because the monofocal toric IOL provides clear vision primarily at a single distance, usually for far vision.
Q4: Is Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL painful?
A4: The procedure is minimally painful, as local anesthesia is applied. Some mild discomfort may occur after surgery, but it is typically manageable and temporary.
Q5: Can children get Cataract Surgery With Mono Toric IOL?
A5: This procedure is generally not performed on children. Mono Toric IOL implantation is primarily suited for adults, especially those with age-related cataracts and astigmatism.
