Are you tired of blurry vision caused by astigmatism or having to pay more for your expensive glasses prescription? Would you prefer clear sight without the need for glasses or contact lenses? Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) may be the solution you've been seeking. I specialise in offering advanced toric IOLs to help you achieve sharp vision and reduce astigmatism for a brighter, clearer future.
Understanding Toric Intraocular Lenses:
ants designed to correct astigmatism and replace the natural lens of the eye during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange procedures. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Analogies of rugby balls vs footballs or teaspoons vs soup spoons are often used to describe astigmatism. Toric IOLs are uniquely shaped to counteract this irregularity, providing clearer vision and reducing dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

Toric intraocular lenses are specialised implIt is important to understand that toric lenses can also be monofocal, extended depth of focus or multifocal. I will advise you if I think you may require toric lenses to achieve the best visual results based on your personalised assessment.
The Benefits of Toric IOLs:
-
Astigmatism Correction: Toric IOLs effectively correct astigmatism by compensating for the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, resulting in improved visual acuity and reduced distortion. Say goodbye to the blurred vision and visual discomfort caused by astigmatism.
-
Clearer Vision: With toric IOLs, many patients experience significantly sharper and more precise vision, both up close and far away. Enjoy the clarity and crispness of your surroundings without the need for corrective eyewear.
-
Reduced Dependence on Glasses: By addressing both cataracts and astigmatism simultaneously, toric IOLs can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery. Experience the freedom to live an active lifestyle without the hassle of constantly reaching for your glasses.

Advanced treatment planning: I prioritise patient safety and comfort, and our modern facilities reflect my commitment to excellence in eye care. At the Medical Eye Clinic, Exeter, the latest Zeiss Callisto technology enhances accuracy and efficiency of performing cataract surgery with toric IOLs with precision and accuracy.
Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation and Customised Care:
Before undergoing cataract surgery with premium IOLs, you will undergo a comprehensive preoperative evaluation to assess your eye health and visual requirements. I will guide you through every step of the process, from selecting the right IOL for your needs to postoperative care and follow-up appointments, ensuring optimal outcomes and satisfaction. I pride myself that I am one of the only surgeons in the South West to offer the full range of IOL options and many patients select me for their cataract surgery for this reason.
