When the natural crystalline lens of the eye is removed during cataract surgery, it can be replaced with a toric intraocular lens (IOL) to correct astigmatism.
Toric intraocular lenses are not multifocal lenses, but they can provide significantly improved vision for people suffering from moderate to high astigmatism.
Astigmatism is the result of a slight dysfunction in how the eye works: the cornea and/or lens are oblong instead of spherical.
Because of the oblong shape of the cornea and/or lens, light passing through the cornea and lens at different positions have different focal points, which can lead to blurry vision at all distances.

ReSTOR is a multifocal intraocular lens designed to give patients greater visual freedom following cataract surgery.
When your eye's natural crystalline lens becomes clouded as a result of cataracts, the only solution is to remove the clouded lens and replace it with a new clear one.
Most of the lenses used in the past were monofocal lenses, which allowed patients to have good vision only for near or distance vision, but not both.
ReSTOR is among several recently-approved options for giving patients the ability to see at more distances after cataract surgery, allowing many to have complete freedom from glasses and contacts.

LASIK, commonly referred to as laser eye surgery, is a type of refractive surgery for the correction of myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism.
The LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity.
For most patients, the procedure provides a permanent alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Major side effects include halos, starbursts, night-driving problems and eye dryness.
LASIK is most similar to another surgical corrective procedure, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and both represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of refractive errors of vision.

Strabismus surgery is Muscle Surgery on the extraocular muscles to correct the misalignment of the eyes.
Strabismus surgery is a one-day procedure.
The patient spends only a few hours in the hospital with minimal preoperative preparation.
The average duration of the Muscle Surgery is variable.
After surgery, the patient should expect soreness and redness.
In cases of re-operations, more pain is expected.
Resection of the muscles is more painful in the post operative period than recession.
It also leaves redness that lasts longer and may cause some vomiting in the early post operative period.

Eye examination is a series of tests performed by an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or orthoptist assessing vision and ability to focus on and discern objects, as well as other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes.
Health care professionals often recommend that all people should have periodic and thorough eye examinations as part of routine primary care, especially since many eye diseases are asymptomatic.
Eye examinations may detect potentially treatable blinding eye diseases, ocular manifestations of systemic disease, or signs of tumours or other anomalies of the brain.
