Cataract Surgery: The Toric Lens

Life is in the details. Don’t miss out!

If you’re a cataract patient who also has corneal astigmatism, let the Zeldes Eye Center improve your vision with surgery that features the AcrySof(R) Toric intraocular lens (IOL). You will see the difference!

Corneal astigmatism, characterized by having football-shaped instead of basketball-shaped corneas, causes blurry vision in those near and far sighted. Addressing that condition at the time of cataract surgery is unusual for most doctors, but the Zeldes Eye Center is dedicated to enhancing vision quality.

At the time of your cataract surgery, Dr. Steven Zeldes inserts the soft intraocular lens in the back of your eye. Unlike other IOLs, the AcrySof(R) Toric lens corrects for astigmatism therefore decreases the need for additional correction from glasses or other surgeries.

To schedule your appointment or to learn more about correcting astigmatism in cataract patients, call 248-737-6955.
