What is a Trifocal Toric Lens?
Trifocal toric lenses are widely used in cataract treatment today. Cataract is one of the most common eye diseases. Cataract is defined as the clouding of the transparent lens in the eye and the inability to transmit light sufficiently to the eye. Cataract is one of the diseases that can occur for many different reasons today. The most important reason is the age factor. With the advancement of age, some changes occur in the protein structure of the lens. This leads to a more blurred vision problem.
It becomes more common after the age of 55-60. However, the fact that it is possible to treat it makes cataract not a serious problem. After the treatment, a new lens is inserted to correct the eye problems caused by this condition. Premium trifocal toric lenses are placed in the eye after a short operation and the patient recovers in a short time.
What are Trifocal Toric Lenses?
There are many developments in the field of medicine every day. Based on these developments, it becomes possible to treat diseases in a short time. Among the most important developments in eye treatments, the production of intraocular multifocal lenses comes first. Premium trifocal toric lenses are lenses that can be worn in certain age groups and can be used without any problems throughout life. When the natural lens of the eye loses its flexibility, near vision becomes difficult (presbyopia); when the lens becomes cloudy, this is cataract. This makes it very difficult to see. These lenses are placed in the eye during cataract surgery.
They are the latest technology lens types used in the treatment of cataract disease. They are lenses that offer very good vision at close, medium and long distances just like natural lenses. In addition to eliminating cataract formation, they are also considered as a solution for the elimination of eye defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
What are the Advantages of Trifocal Toric Lenses?
Multifocal lenses are analysed in three main groups. One of them is premium trifocal toric lenses. These lenses not only correct astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia, but also provide clear vision at medium, far and near distances. This condition cannot be corrected with standard lenses. However, it is permanently corrected with Premium trifocal toric lenses. People can see more comfortably without the need for glasses after the operation. The most important benefits of multifocal lenses to the user are as follows:
- These lenses provide a clearer viewing distance.
- They can be used for a lifetime and are highly durable.
- It creates a very good vision performance for different lighting conditions.
- The user has the chance to see more comfortably in many environments.
- It is used without causing discomfort in the eye.
To Whom Are Trifocal Toric Lenses Applied?
Trifocal toric lenses are applied to people with cataract or astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia problems in their eyes. These lenses are specially developed intraocular lenses. If there is an irregularity in the cornea or lens of the eye of astigmatism patients, refractive error and blurred vision for all distances manifest themselves. In such cases, toric lenses are specially produced to eliminate this problem. If the patient has astigmatism as well as myopia and hyperopia, toric lenses should be used. Lens selection according to the degree of the patient's eye problem is explained to the patient in detail by the doctor.
Trifocal toric intraocular lenses are special types of lenses used for the correction of astigmatism refractive error in the patient during cataract surgery. It is also aimed to correct the existing astigmatism during cataract surgery. Toric lenses have also been specially developed to correct this. 
How are Trifocal Toric Lenses Fitted?
If the patient's astigmatism is dependent on the corneal layer and has a regular structure, trifocal toric intraocular lens application is performed during cataract surgery. With the help of these lenses, high astigmatism treatment gives more successful results.
Intraocular trifocal toric lenses not only correct astigmatism but also contribute to the improvement of far, near and middle distance vision problems. It is especially ideal for patients who do not want to wear glasses. In order to wear these lenses, the patient must be evaluated very well before the surgical procedure. It is not performed with a very different technique from cataract surgery. It is a surgical procedure that can be performed with topical (drop) anaesthesia. It is possible to ensure that eye problems are eliminated by applying to an experienced and expert doctor.
Risks and Possible Side Effects
Intraocular lens and cataract surgery are among the most commonly performed operations in the world, with a very high success rate. As with any surgical procedure there are some risks, but they are unlikely, and most can be treated if they do occur. Regular check-ups help to spot any problem early.
- Infection: very rare; antibiotic drops used before and after surgery keep this risk to a minimum.
- A temporary rise in eye pressure: usually in the first few days, and easily controlled with drops.
- Posterior capsule opacification: months or years later vision may become slightly cloudy; this is cleared with a quick, painless YAG laser treatment lasting 1-2 minutes.
- Halos and glare at night: may be noticeable in the first weeks, and usually fade considerably as the brain adapts to the new lens.
- Rotation of the toric lens: uncommon; if the astigmatism correction is less than expected, the lens can be turned back to the correct axis in a short procedure.
- Retinal detachment: very rare; if you notice sudden flashes, new floaters or a shadow across your vision, contacting us straight away allows early treatment.
