Answer: Toric lens implants for astigmatism correction after cataract surgery “correct” but do not “remove” astigmatism. If the astigmatism is regular and caused by the shape of the cornea being unequal in curvatures, toric lens implants are quite effective at correcting the vision if they are measured properly and implanted correctly.
