Toric Lens (For Astigmatism Correction)
Insurance typically covers the cost of standard monofocal lenses. Premium lenses are considered an upgrade and involve an additional out-of-pocket cost.
Best for: Patients with astigmatism who need sharper distance vision.
-
Distance Vision: Very good, as it corrects astigmatism for clearer sight.
-
Intermediate Vision: Depends on whether the lens is monofocal, EDOF, or multifocal.
-
Near Vision: Same as the chosen lens type (monofocal requires reading glasses, multifocal provides some near vision).
-
Night Vision: Similar to the chosen lens type, but reducing astigmatism can improve overall clarity.
🔎 How you might experience it:
Before correcting astigmatism, vision can seem warped or smudged—like looking through a wavy or uneven window. With a toric lens, that distortion is reduced, so shapes and details that once appeared blurry now come into crisp, clear focus.
