Overview Toric lens implants are the contact lenses implanted internally inside our eyes to replace the natural lenses. We use the toric lens implants when a patient has astigmatism; It is essential to consider in the preoperative planning before the operation.   Patients with a significant degree of astigmatism often want to understand the implications for their vision after the surgery.

Studies say that an improvised improvement in a child's self-perception when wearing contacts instead of glasses. Childr...
