Can the ReSTOR® lens correct serious astigmatism?
The ReSTOR® lens itself cannot correct serious astigmatism at this time, however an astigmatism correcting ReSTOR® lens will most likely be FDA approved in 2006 or 2007. Astigmatism may however occur at the level of the lens and not the cornea. If this is the case, ReSTOR® surgery will correct the astigmatism. I will treat significant astigmatism in the office after ReSTOR® surgery in the office at no charge.
