   Cataract is a clouding of the focusing lens of the eye. The cornea is the clear window of the eye through which light must pass first to reach the lens and then proceed on to reach the retina which acts like the film in a camera to capture what we see.

   An astigmatism is an irregularity in the curvature of the cornea (somewhat like a wobble in a bowling ball) and this wobble causes images to be distorted when they reach the retina and thus makes a blur. Most astigmatism can be corrected with spectacles or contact lenses. Historically, cataract surgery was performed without fixing the pre-existing ...

   Limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) can be performed at the time of surgery to eliminate or reduce astigmatism. LRIs are very small, but very deep, extra incisions that are placed in the cornea at the exact clock hour of the astigmatism in the cornea. LRIs usually heal nicely and can last forever. Because LRIs are made by hand and because each person h...

   A toric intraocular lens is a modification of a standard intraocular lens (used in almost all cataract surgery) that has the needed astigmatism correction built into the lens. It must be ordered or inventoried specifically for the degree of astigmatism to be corrected. The lens is implanted inside the eye in a very exact orientation so as to line u...

   The third way to correct astigmatism occurs after cataract surgery and after the eye has had time to heal. LASIK or PRK can be performed as an off-label (not an FDA-approved use) method of reducing or eliminating astigmatism. In LASIK and PRK, an Excimer laser is use to reshape the corneal irregularity. PRK can be performed sooner than LASIK and is...
