Clareon Toric IOL
A better option for quality distance vision in patients with astigmatism. In the past when cataract surgery was performed a spherical intraocular lens was implanted. In people with astigmatism this still left them with blurred vision due to pre-existing corneal astigmatism. Standard intraocular lenses can’t correct corneal astigmatism. The Clareon Toric lens corrects corneal astigmatism significantly improving uncorrected vision. Simply put, the patient can now see more clearly without glasses. To achieve quality distance vision with a standard IOL, you may still require eyeglasses, contact lenses, or further surgery.
The yellow tint provides protection from harmful high enery blue light. Addtional filters are also present to protect from Ultraviolet light. UV and blue light may contribute to macular degeneration.
The Clarion Toric has been made with an advanced aspheric design to enhance image quality and improve vision especially at night or other low contrast environments.
Functional vision is an important consideration for people with astigmatism. When it comes to object detection and identification, seconds can matter — particularly in low-visibility conditions, like night driving.
Dr. Liva uses multiple intruments to determine amount and axis of the corneal astigmatism to be corrected. These include the Topcon Corneal Topographer, the Nidek computerized auto-keratometer, manual keratometry, and measurements from the Zeiss 700 IOLMaster. Consideration of measurements from all these devices helps to increase the accuracy of choosing the proper lens power to be implanted and the axis of astigmatism for positioning the lens in the eye at the time of surgery.
