How To Correct Astigmatism During Cataract Surgery-Eye Doctor Explains

Cataract surgery is no longer used just to remove cloudy lenses, it is also an opportunity to correct vision at the same time. Many have the goal to be less dependent on glasses, and there are many ways to get there, which is exciting but sometimes confusing! Today, I'll discuss the various ways that astigmatism can be corrected during cataract surgery, the resulting vision expectations, and the vision correction that may be expected to be necessary for each option. Keep in mind that these expectations assume that there are no other significant ocular diagnoses and surgical results may vary. It's best to discuss with your provider and surgeon what your expectations and desires are for your vision, what lens and treatment options you may be a candidate for, and what is likely to get you the most ideal result possible.
