Question: What
is the best replacement lens implant to correct very severe astigmatism?
Answer: The
choice of which is the best lens implant to use for correcting severe
astigmatism should be left entirely to your cataract surgeon. Depending on the
anatomy of your eye, his or her surgical technique, the amount and orientation
of the astigmatism and a number of other factors the choice is best made by the
person performing the eye surgery. Lens implants are not a consumer purchase
like buying tires for your car and
require a high degree of professional judgment in their selection.
