I had intraocular toroidal lenses fitted a little over seven years ago and have been very happy with the results. Google says :
Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) are considered the most predictive way of correcting corneal astigmatism in a patient undergoing cataract surgery, as they may correct astigmatism as low as 0.75 diopters. Monofocal and multifocal toric IOLs are available and are chosen based on the patient's expectations.
I've always had astigmatism (about +ve 2.00 in both eyes) so had to wear glasses. After the ops which were a month apart I only had to wear reading glasses (around 500mm fl) and computer glasses ( around 400mm fl). Apparently always had better than 20/20 vision but the astigmatism was the bugbear. Nice not to wear glasses after many years so looking into eyepieces without them was great. The only issue I now have is floaties which have got steadily worse over the past three to four years, this can be seen to apparently but at a cost and is not guaranteed to be fully effective, part of the aging process I believe, I'm 73 now.
