As extremely experienced Lehigh Valley cataract surgeons, Dr. Ross and Dr. Ahdieh are thrilled to offer their cataract surgery patients in the Lehigh Valley the most sophisticated intraocular lenses (IOLs), including the AcrySof IQ Toric IOL. AcrySof Toric is a special multifocal lens implant that corrects mild to moderate astigmatism in cataract surgery patients. Astigmatism is a refractive error resulting from an irregularly shaped cornea. Toric Lenses: Are They for Me? AcrySof Toric is manufactured by Alcon Laboratories. It received FDA approval in 2005 for correction of pre-existing astigmatism in cataract surgery patients. The unique design of the AcrySof Toric lens implant offsets the distortion of the cornea, thereby allowing light to focus properly onto the retina. One advantage of AcrySof Toric is that, in many cases, it may eliminate the need for a limbal relaxing incision, a traditional surgical technique used during cataract surgery to correct astigmatism. During this procedure, incisions are made at the edge of the cornea to cause it to heal in a more regular (spherical) shape. However, while patients with mild to moderate astigmatism may be able to forego this step, Lehigh Valley cataract surgery patients who suffer from severe astigmatism may benefit from receiving the limbal relaxing incision or laser vision correction surgery in addition to the toric IOL. If you would like more information on the AcrySof Toric lens implant, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us today 610-628-0545. With two locations, equipped with state-of the-art equipment and expert friendly staff, they aim to care for their patients in an efficient and accessible environment. With their knowledge, expertise and genuine concern for their patients, the doctors at Lehigh Valley Center For Sight are available to provide the highest level of care for you and your vision, your most precious sense.

Lehigh Valley Center For Sight Offers The New Intraocular Lens Option For Cataract Surgery Patients With Astigmatism and Presbyopia. Call 610-628-0545 for a consultation. Lehigh Valley Center For Sight is very excited to announce a new intraocular lens option for cataract surgery patients who suffer from astigmatism and presbyopia: the Acrysof IQ ReSTOR® +2.5 Multifocal Toric IOL with ACTIVEFOCUS™. Recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Acrysof IQ ReSTOR® +2.5 Multifocal Toric IOL with ACTIVEFOCUS™ can improve vision for a wider range of distances and correct for astigmatism at the same time, helping patients reduce their need for glasses and other types of corrective eyewear after cataract surgery. This latest advancement in custom cataract lens options is one of only three FDA-approved multifocal lens options available in the U.S. that can also correct astigmatism. Last year, the ReSTOR® Toric IOL was granted FDA approval, giving patients a wider range of choices. In addition to cataract patients, the Acrysof IQ ReSTOR® +2.5 Multifocal Toric IOL with ACTIVEFOCUS™ and the ReSTOR® Multifocal Toric IOL can also be utilized for individuals who choose to undergo refractive lens exchange procedures. Until now, patients suffering from both astigmatism and presbyopia have had very limited options when it came to lens implants that could help them see more clearly at multiple distances. This new IOL changes the game and takes quality vision correction even further into the future!
