Advanced monofocal toric IOLs deliver functional intermediate vision and sharp, crisp distance vision while correcting astigmatism at the same time.4,5
Astigmatism is a separate, common eye condition that happens when the cornea’s surface has an uneven curvature, resembling a rugby ball rather than a football. This irregularity results in blurred vision at all distances and challenges in seeing fine details.6
By choosing advanced monofocal toric IOLs, you can correct this corneal irregularity and gain exceptional clarity.4,7,8

Get the information you need to guide you to an informed decision about the cataract lens replacement that best fits your budget and your lifestyle.
Cataracts occur when proteins build up in your eye's natural lens, causing cloudy vision and making everyday tasks, like driving, using a computer, or recognizing familiar faces, more difficult.12
Astigmatism is a separate, common eye condition that happens when the cornea's surface has an uneven curvature, resembling a rugby ball rather than a football. This irregularity results in blurred vision at all distances and challenges in seeing fine details.6
By choosing a toric lens (IOL), you can effectively address both the vision problems caused by cataracts and astigmatism simultaneously.13
If you have cataracts and astigmatism, the answer is likely yes. Ask your surgeon if you’re a candidate for any of the astigmatism-correcting lens options.
When you're preparing for cataract surgery, choosing the right lens (IOL) is an important decision—and one that should be made through discussions with your eye surgeon. With Monofocal Toric IOLs, you can gain exceptional clarity and correct astigmatism at the same time.4,7,8You may be a good candidate if4,13:
• You want to correct both your cataracts and astigmatism at the same time
• You’re looking for sharp distance vision—like for driving, watching TV, or seeing things clearly across a room
• You’re comfortable wearing glasses for up-close activities like reading or sewing
• You want functional intermediate vision, meaning you don’t need glasses for working on a computer, reading a menu, seeing in a mirror, etc.
• You don’t have other eye conditions that might affect your vision
If this sounds like you, the Advanced Monofocal Toric IOLs could be a great fit. But remember—every eye is unique. The best way to know what’s right for you is to talk to your eye surgeon, who can recommend a lens based on your lifestyle and vision goals.
