Cataract Center and Presbyopia Vision Center

Cataract patients now have the option to have their vision corrected to allow them to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! These lens implants provide significantly reduced dependence on glasses for all tasks of daily living, providing a range of focus that laser vision correction cannot achieve. Individuals with visual impairment suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery.

Astigmatism Correction

Astigmatism is a condition in which the surface of cornea is irregular. Normally, the surface of the cornea is smooth and round, like the shape of a round ball (such as a basketball), which is equally round in every direction has no astigmatism. In contrast, a football, which is not equally round in every direction, has significant astigmatism. A clear, smooth, round cornea gives optimal vision. However, when the surface of the cornea becomes irregular, vision becomes impaired.

There are three ways to correct astigmatism surgically:

  • Limbal relaxing incisions
    • Limbal relaxing incisions are made (usually in pairs) near the outer edge of the cornea in order to make the contour of the cornea rounder.
    • Limbal relaxing incisions are typically made at the time of cataract surgery, but it can be done in any eye with astigmatism.
    • Limbal relaxing incisions are limited to correct mild astigmatism.
  • Toric intraocular lens
    • Toric intraocular lens is a special type of intraocular implant that can compensate the for the astigmatism in the cornea.
    • Toric intraocular lens has to be inserted into the eye in conjunction with the removal of cataract at the time of cataract surgery.
    • Toric intraocular lens can correct mild to moderate astigmatism.
  • Laser vision correction
    • Laser vision correction (LASIK and PRK) is highly effective in correcting astigmatism.
    • Laser vision correction can correct more astigmatism than limbal relaxing incisions and toric intraocular lens.
    • Laser vision correction can correct highly irregular astigmatism, which are not correctable with limbal relaxing incisions or toric intraocular lens implant.
    • Laser vision correction can be customized to treat astigmatism unique to each patient.
    • Laser vision correction can be used to treat eyes with mild to moderate astigmatism.
