For cataract patients with astigmatism, successful cataract surgery is only half the battle for regaining quality vision.

Until recently, the only viable vision correction options for astigmatism correction after cataract surgery were eyeglasses or contact lenses, both of which are not only inconvenient in terms of lifestyle but can also be expensive over your lifetime.

The AcrySof® Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL) is an advanced technology that now makes it possible to correct the cataracts clouding your vision — AND the corneal astigmatism distorting your vision — all at the same time.

Goodbye Cataracts and Astigmatism…Hello Quality Distance Vision

The technology behind the AcrySof® Toric IOL offers precise astigmatic correction that reduces or eliminates corneal astigmatism and delivers significantly improved distance-vision without glasses or contacts for cataract patients with pre-existing astigmatism.

With the AcrySof Toric lens, your distance vision can be clear and vibrant, all in just one step!
