Toric
Astigmatism occurs when the surface of the cornea is curved, causing vision to be distorted or blurred. If a person has astigmatism and cataracts, he or she will not regain quality distance vision after cataract surgery unless the astigmatism is also corrected.
Toric lenses are used to replace your own natural lens during cataract surgery. It also has the ability to correct astigmatism, resulting in improved distance vision and more freedom from eye glasses. However, most patients still need corrective lenses for near-vision tasks.
