Monofocal Toric Lenses
Monofocal Toric Lenses for Astigmatism
Personalized Cataract Care from Experienced Austin Cataract Surgeons
At Westlake Eye Specialists, we believe clear vision should never come with compromise. For patients who have both cataracts and astigmatism, our board-certified cataract surgeons offer a proven solution: monofocal toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
These specialized lenses correct not just the cloudiness caused by cataracts, but also the uneven curvature of the cornea known as astigmatism, helping you achieve sharper, more consistent distance vision.
With convenient locations in Austin, Kyle, Killeen, and New Braunfels, we’re here to guide you through every step of your vision restoration with precision and care.
What Is a Toric Monofocal Lens?
A toric lens is a type of intraocular lens designed to correct astigmatism—a common condition where the cornea is irregularly shaped, leading to blurred or distorted vision. A monofocal toric lens provides this correction while also restoring distance vision after cataract removal.
At Westlake Eye Specialists, our advanced diagnostic tools allow your Austin cataract surgeon to measure your eye’s exact curvature and determine the ideal toric lens power and alignment.
Key Benefits of Monofocal Toric Lenses:
- Simultaneous correction of cataracts and astigmatism
- Clear, stable distance vision with less dependency on glasses
- Low risk of visual disturbances like halos or glare
- Long-term optical performance and positioning
- Available in several premium lens materials and brands
Do I Need a Toric Lens?
You may be a good candidate for a toric lens if:
- You’ve been told you have corneal astigmatism
- You want to reduce your reliance on glasses after cataract surgery
- You do not want multifocal or EDOF lenses
- Your lifestyle requires clear distance vision—such as driving, traveling, or outdoor activities
- You want the best possible results from your cataract surgery
Many of our patients across Austin, Killeen, Kyle, and New Braunfels who have astigmatism choose toric lenses to get the most out of their procedure—without the daily hassle of prescription glasses.
Technology That Makes a Difference
Our cataract surgeons use image-guided technology and laser-assisted surgery to ensure that your toric lens is placed with exceptional precision. Proper alignment is crucial for toric lenses to perform optimally, and our advanced systems allow us to fine-tune lens rotation to match the natural shape of your eye.
This attention to detail is part of what sets Westlake Eye Specialists apart—and why more Central Texans trust us for premium cataract care.
