I have cataract in my left eye; I need cataract surgery pretty soon. Several questions
1. From my last left eye glass prescription when it was good: -150, -175x159 I think it is low to moderate myopia and astigmatism, What model of aspheric toric IOL or monofocal IOL recommend for my eye and what are the targets I am expecting to get after implant? Is toric IOL really out weight monofocal IOL by a large margin?
2. One eye MD mentioned in internet “Patients with low-to-moderate astigmatism require less intervention but greater precision. Because this population does not tolerate overcorrection, a small reduction of cylinder may not be beneficial if it is accompanied by an axis shift, particularly toward against-the-rule. we counsel patients prior to surgery regarding the risk of rotation and prepare for the possibility of a secondary procedure” My question is what is the percentage of patient implant with toric IOL out of cataract surgery and what is the percentage of patient need secondary procedure after toric IOL implant? What is the risk of doing secondary procedure?
