If you have astigmatism and are dependent on eyeglasses, you have options at Eye Consultants of Texas which can reduce or even eliminate that dependency. The Tecnis Eyhance™ intraocular lens (IOL) is a great example, and one of several toric lenses we offer designed to correct astigmatism during cataract surgery.

If you don’t have cataracts, toric contact lenses are another choice to treat astigmatism, though some users find them uncomfortable and have a hard time adjusting to them. There are also surgical options that can treat astigmatism, including LASIK, astigmatism keratectomy, or limbal relaxing incisions.

If you have cataracts and astigmatism you have the benefit of astigmatism-correcting implantable intraocular lenses like the Tecnis Eyhance to treat your astigmatism and cataracts in the same procedure. In addition, we offer a toric version of the Vivity, enVista™ Envy, and PanOptix IOLs. Other IOLs that we offer, like the Tecnis® Symfony, have the ability to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Your eye doctor will help determine which option is best suited to your unique needs.
