What Is Cataract Surgery With Multifocal Toric IOL?
Cataract Surgery With Multifocal Toric IOL is a combined vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s cloudy natural lens with a single artificial lens designed to correct multiple issues – cataract, astigmatism, and presbyopia. This advanced lens provides multiple focal points for clear vision at all distances while also correcting astigmatism caused by an irregularly shaped cornea.
The result is improved near, intermediate, and distance vision with reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is especially beneficial for patients who have both cataracts and astigmatism, as it restores clarity and balance in vision through a single, precise surgical procedure.
How It Works
Cataract Surgery With Multifocal Toric IOL begins by creating a tiny incision in the eye to remove the cloudy natural lens using a technique called phacoemulsification, which uses ultrasonic energy to break the lens into small pieces that are then gently suctioned out. Once the cataract is removed, the multifocal toric IOL is implanted into the eye.
· Multifocal Function: The lens has multiple optical zones that allow patients to focus clearly at various distances – near, intermediate, and far.
· Toric Function: The lens has different refractive powers across its surface to correct astigmatism, providing sharper vision by compensating for the uneven curvature of the cornea.
The lens is carefully aligned and rotated into a precise position inside the eye to ensure optimal correction of astigmatism. This alignment is critical to achieve stable, clear, and balanced vision after surgery. The surgery takes about 15 to 30 minutes per eye.
