Toric vs. Monofocal IOLs: Choosing the Best Lens for Cataract Surgery

Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) correct both spherical and cylindrical (astigmatism) errors, offering advantages over monofocal lenses for patients with astigmatism:

• Sharper vision at distance without glasses.
• Reduced dependence on corrective eyewear for daily activities.
• Better night vision with less glare and halos.
• Higher patient satisfaction in clinical studies.
• Long-term stability of astigmatism correction.

The optimal choice depends on individual eye health, visual needs, and surgeon recommendation after comprehensive evaluation.
