Monofocal Toric IOL (Promote Clearer Vision And Astigmatism Correction)

· Those in Bangkok looking for ways to reduce their dependence on glasses.
· Those with regular astigmatism.
· Those with cataracts and pre-existing astigmatism.
· Those who want to have a sharper vision at one distance.
· Those who wish to seek reliable and predictable astigmatism correction.

Monofocal Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL) is an advanced artificial lens that is implanted into the eye during cataract surgery. This type of lens not only replaces the cloudy natural lens affected by cataracts but also corrects astigmatism, a condition where the cornea or lens has an uneven shape that causes blurred or distorted vision. Unlike multifocal or premium lenses that provide vision at multiple distances, Monofocal Toric IOL is designed to provide clear vision at only 1 distance, either near or far. After implantation, clear focus is achieved at the chosen distance, while glasses may still be needed for the other distance.

The design of Monofocal Toric IOL is unique because it combines spherical and cylindrical powers in the lens, which allows correction of astigmatism during cataract surgery. When placed correctly inside the eye, the lens not only removes the blurriness caused by cataracts but also sharpens vision by neutralizing the uneven curvature of the cornea. This dual benefit often results in clearer vision than what is achieved with a standard Monofocal IOL. Many patients who receive this lens report reduced dependence on glasses for distance activities such as driving or watching television, especially when the chosen focal point is set for distance vision. For the best results, precise measurements of the eye are taken before surgery, and the doctor carefully aligns the lens during implantation to match the astigmatism axis.

Monofocal Toric IOL begins by consultation with the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where a detailed eye examination is performed. Measurements are taken to assess the degree of astigmatism and to calculate the exact lens power required. Once the assessment is complete, preparation for surgery is scheduled.

On the day of the procedure, the natural cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a Monofocal Toric Intraocular Lens designed to correct both cataracts and astigmatism. The operation usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes per eye and is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout the process.

The main benefit of a Monofocal Toric IOL is sharper distance vision with reduced distortion caused by astigmatism, often leading to a significant decrease in the need for glasses for distance activities such as driving or watching television. Recovery time is generally short, with noticeable improvement in vision within 3 to 5 days. Most normal activities can be resumed within 1 week, while complete stabilization of vision typically occurs within 4 to 6 weeks. Downtime is minimal, making Monofocal Toric IOL a reliable long-term solution for clear vision.

Q1: Will Monofocal Toric IOL remove the need for glasses completely?
A1: Monofocal Toric IOL provides clear vision at a selected distance, either far or near. Glasses may still be required for the other distance.

Q2: Can Monofocal Toric IOL last a lifetime?
A2: Yes, Monofocal Toric IOL is designed to be permanent. The lens is made of durable materials that do not wear out over time. Once properly implanted and aligned, the Monofocal Toric IOL provides lasting results.

Q3: Does Monofocal Toric IOL affect future eye tests?
A3: No, Monofocal Toric IOL does not interfere with standard eye tests. After healing, vision tests and eye health examinations can be performed normally with Monofocal Toric IOL in place.

Q4: How long does Monofocal Toric IOL procedure take?
A4: Monofocal Toric IOL procedure takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes for each eye.

Q5: Can Monofocal Toric IOL reduce eye strain?
A5: Yes, Monofocal Toric IOL helps reduce eye strain caused by blurred or distorted vision from astigmatism. By providing sharper focus, Monofocal Toric IOL allows the eyes to work more comfortably during daily activities.
