The multifocal IOL lenses do not correct astigmatism. If you have astigmatism and a desire to reduce or eliminate glasses from your life an additional procedure will need to be performed . There are numerous options for correcting astigmatism after cataract surgery. Please feel free to consult our staff to learn about what options would be best for you. Astigmatic correction after cataract surgery would not be covered by insurance because it is considered an elective procedure.
