I had no astigmatism before cataract surgery. My cataract surgery was done quickly by the NHS because I had Primary Closed-Angle Glaucoma. My eyes were operated on one month apart. I had my glasses prescription in one eye which is perfect but the other eye felt as if I had not had my glasses prescription put in that eye as it was blurry, and feels awful. I have felt dizzy ever since, even in glasses, which led to a fall whereby I broke my nose. Apparently, I have an astigmatism in that eye now and everything is blurred without my glasses. Whilst I appreciate that my eyesight was saved and I no longer have to worry about narrow angles, I am disappointed that I still have to wear glasses full-time. I realize I would have had to use glasses just for close up work. I am still considering a Piggy-back lens and I would appreciate some idea of how much one would need to pay for such a procedure. Many thanks.😊
I'm scared But I have the 1st in 7/22...doc said I have 85% chance of better vision and a successful surgery .. Also a cutt on cornea To loosen some pre excisting astigmatism.. MONO FOCAL IOL LESS DOUBLE VISION COMPLICATIONS @ 🙏
@@Itsme-ni9jk my on Saturday , and same like u fulll scared , doctor told me that the vision after surgery will be 70-80 % improvement only 😦 edit;- whats your age and where are you from?
Please can you answer my question I have to have a cataract surgery I'm 42 years old my glasses prescription is S + 175 C - 2,25 A 15 so can the astigmatism be corrected with monofocal toric lens or should I implant a standard monofocal and then correct astigmatism by laser correction
It's just a little different shape of the lens. If you get the laser it can also correct some. With a great doc and enough experience with the laser and the lens your astigmatism can pretty much go away with 95% corrected.
I just got cataract surgery and got toric lens set up like my contacts have been for years, one eye for distance and the other for reading and it works for me.
No you will need a multi focal IOL. Just like progressive glasses they let you see at almost any distance at some expenses. Once you look them up it tells you what you give up, but they can correct astigmatism also.
If you value your close-in vision...i.e. seeing your watch, doing DIY work, seeing instruments or people inside your car, seeing your phone (texts, etc.)? Please DO NOT opt for the Toric Lens. Since October 2023 my Toric Lens from Johnson & Johnson has left me CRIPPLED. Yes...I can read a license plate at 2-blocks, However, this morning I fell down 8 concrete stairs, head-first, because I no longer have depth perception OR balance. I was shamed into paying $1700 extra for the Toric Lens with the medical staff making me feel like a "cheapskate" for not choosing the so- called "premium lens." The worst medical decision of my life.

It doesn't sound like the toric is the problem. It sounds like either the doc missed the target or you wanted a little better distance vision. I got my toric implant with a descent amount of astigmatism and I could see beautifully the next day. I did spend an immense amount of time researching all the gotchas and what I want from my vision. I understood all the limitations and yes a phone or a book with small writing will require glasses. I told my doctor 3 times what I want and made the staff check my measurements 3 times. I paid the doctor all the extras he wanted to ensure the maximum possibility of a positive outcome. If you do all this and make sure you have a doctor with 10-20 years of positive experience. Your chances are 95-99% There are millions of these operations every year now and I went back at least 10 years in my vision. They tell me it should stay that way for many years unless I develop other problems.
