toric lens implantation

There are many non-surgical methods such as medical glasses and contact lenses, and surgical methods such as using various laser technologies and lens implantation for vision correction. One of the most famous types of lenses for vision correction is the Toric lens.

What is toric lens implantation?

It is one of the latest medical technologies and procedures used to correct vision impairment resulting from abnormalities in the eye lens or cornea, as well as astigmatism. It is characterized by not causing dry eye and does not require special medical care after the procedure, where the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens that helps provide clear vision with high efficiency.

When is toric lens implantation performed?

Toric lens implantation is performed for cases suffering from severe nearsightedness (High myopia) exceeding 10 degrees, which cannot be treated using laser technology alone. In this case, the most suitable solution is lens implantation, specifically for cases that also suffer from astigmatism.

Benefits of toric Lenses for Astigmatism Correction

Toric lenses are among the latest technologies used in vision correction, offering several benefits:

  • No Dry Eyes: Unlike other techniques, they do not cause dry eye syndrome.
  • Speed: It is one of the fastest lens implantation procedures, taking only about 30 minutes.
  • Minimal Post-Op Care: Does not require complex medical care following the surgery.
  • Visual Independence: Patients can permanently stop wearing prescription glasses.

The price for Toric lens surgery ranges from 30,000 EGP to 40,000 EGP. These prices vary from one surgeon to another based on the doctor’s expertise and the technology used during the procedure.
