Can a toric lens implanted during cataract surgery overcorrect astigmatism and create a vision impairment?
AUG 18, 2014
Answer:
It is possible that a toric lens implant could be either of too much power or off-axis, which can result in diminished vision. However, if this is the case, your vision should correct up just fine with a pair of prescription glasses. Ask your surgeons if you are a candidate for lens reposition or LASIK to fine-tune the vision if possible.
