A member asked:
Are astigmatic and presbyopic iol's examples of what is known or referred to as "accommodating" iol's for cataract surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The other way around, accommodating IOLs are a subset of presbyopia correcting IOLs. In order to correct presbyopia, you can use multifocal IOLs, accommodating IOLs and monovision. In order to best correct presbyopia, your astigmatism needs to be minimized to less than 0.5 diopter. There are presbyopia IOLs that correct astigmatism. These are the so-called toric IOLs Best wishes
