TECNIS™ Toric II 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 Tennis 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.
TECNISTM Toric II Engineered for rotational stability. Advanced design has squared, frosted haptics for increased friction in the capsular bag. 100% of surgeries had ≤ 5 degrees rotation at 3 months
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.
