Satisfaction
with Cataract Surgery Astigmatism Lens Implants
Good news
for patients with astigmatism who are having cataract surgery! When your
cataract is removed and replaced with a lens implant to correct your vision,
patients who have astigmatism will be pleased to know that satisfaction with
cataract lens implants for astigmatism is extremely high. A recent study
presented in the American Journal
of Ophthalmology compared using toric astigmatism correcting
lens implants to a manual incisional procedure for correcting astigmatism,
called corneal relaxing incisions. Although both methods of astigmatism
correction resulted in good vision for the cataract patients, the astigmatism
correcting toric lens implants gave patients a better overall satisfaction with
their vision as reported in quality of life questionnaire 12 months after their
cataract surgery with cataract lens implants that corrected the astigmatism.
Patients were particularly pleased to be able to wear non- prescription
sunglasses and be independent of eyeglasses for seeing clearly at distance.
