The Vivity Toric IOL offers innovative solutions for those struggling with astigmatism while undergoing cataract surgery. Experience improved clarity and a broader vision range with the expertise of top professionals in your area.
The Vivity Toric IOL is a premium intraocular lens designed to replace the natural lens during cataract surgery. It provides excellent clarity and an extended range of vision. Utilizing advanced wavefront-shaping technology, it not only corrects presbyopia but also addresses the specific challenges posed by astigmatism. The Vivity Toric IOL uses this technology to create a smoother transition across multiple distances, offering improved vision at various focal points.
The Vivity Toric IOL is an advanced lens implant that combines the benefits of extended vision and astigmatism correction. Unlike standard monofocal lenses, which are typically set for a single focus, this premium lens utilizes exclusive technology to control the stretching of incoming light. This innovation provides clear vision across distance and intermediate ranges, with functional near vision for many daily tasks. However, reading glasses may still be required for very close-up work.
Built specifically for individuals dealing with the blurred vision caused by cataracts and astigmatism, the Vivity Toric lens is ideal for those seeking a broader range of vision. The Vivity Toric IOL is FDA-approved for adults with cataracts, offering both cataract and astigmatism correction. This lens is especially beneficial for anyone looking to reduce their dependence on glasses, as it allows for a seamless transition between far and near vision in daily activities.
The Vivity Toric IOL utilizes a modified diffractive design to extend the range of vision, optimizing how light enters the eye for clearer vision across various distances. This design improves depth of focus, offering enhanced clarity without sacrificing image quality.
By addressing both cataract removal and astigmatism correction in a single step, this lens provides comprehensive visual improvement. Patients often experience more consistent vision whether they are reading, working at a computer, or enjoying outdoor activities. The built-in capability to minimize visual disturbances such as glare, halos, or starbursts makes the Vivity Toric a reliable option for many eye care patients.
Clinical trials have shown that the Vivity Toric IOL consistently delivers strong vision results for patients undergoing cataract surgery with astigmatism:
In multicenter clinical trials, about 95% of patients implanted with the Vivity Toric IOL achieved 20/25 uncorrected distance vision or better. This is on par with or better than the results from standard monofocal lenses.
Clinical research demonstrates that patients receiving the Vivity Toric IOL consistently experience improved intermediate vision (for tasks like computer use and dashboard reading) compared to monofocal IOLs. For near vision, over 50% of patients achieved 20/40 or better, which is sufficient for most day-to-day tasks such as reading menus or checking a smartphone.
Studies show that the majority of patients have 0.50 diopters or less of residual astigmatism after surgery with the Vivity Toric IOL, indicating effective correction of astigmatism and resulting in less blurry vision.
Published trials confirm that the Vivity Toric IOL maintains stable positioning after surgery, with average rotation less than 1 degree over several months.Over 98% of lenses remained within 5 degrees of their intended axis, which is critical for astigmatism correction.
Clinical data shows a low rate of visual disturbances such as halos, glare, or starbursts. Most side effects, if present, are mild and tend to improve as the eye adapts. Patients with the Vivity Toric IOL often say their vision feels very natural, with little to no trouble from glare or halos at night, even when driving. Most people find their night vision is as comfortable as with a standard lens, but they also get the bonus of clearer vision for things like computer use and everyday activities. Studies show that about 85% of people with the Vivity lens have almost no glare or halos, which is better than many other premium lenses. This makes the Vivity a great choice for anyone who wants clear vision and fewer night vision problems.

The Vivity Toric IOL is particularly well-suited for patients who contend with both cataracts and astigmatism, presenting a streamlined solution for multiple vision challenges. It is most beneficial for those seeking to reduce their dependence on glasses, especially for everyday tasks like reading menus, using a computer, or engaging in outdoor activities.
Those who suffer from the uneven curvature of the cornea will find the toric design of this IOL especially effective.
Individuals experiencing age-related difficulty focusing on near objects can enjoy a broader range of clarity.
If you spend significant time on digital devices or enjoy driving at night, the reduced incidence of glare and halos will boost your overall vision quality.
Choosing a lens implant for cataract surgery involves weighing various factors. Our cataract surgeons understand that every patient’s needs are unique, which is why it’s important to consider how different lens choices compare side by side.
These provide clear vision at one focal distance, typically distance, but do not offer correction for astigmatism or extended intermediate and near vision. Patients often require glasses for other activities.
Multifocal lenses use multiple focal points to distribute sight across distances; however, they may result in visual disturbances due to the splitting of light. The trade-off can sometimes include halos or glare, particularly in low-light settings.
These lenses rely on the movement of eye muscles to shift focus. While they adjust based on your active focus, they do not always offer the consistency or broad range of the Vivity Toric IOL.
The primary advantage of the Vivity Toric IOL lies in its ability to offer a broader range of vision. Traditional monofocal lenses focus on one distance, so patients often have to compromise between near and distance clarity. In contrast, the Vivity Toric lens extends clear vision across various distances, making it easier to perform everyday activities without the constant need to reach for glasses.
This extended vision range is achieved through the lens’s non-diffractive design which avoids the compromises seen in multifocal technologies, delivering one continuous, smooth experience.
Astigmatism arises when the cornea's shape is uneven, leading to blurred or distorted vision. The toric model of the Vivity lens is purposefully engineered to counter these irregularities. By aligning with the unique curvature of your cornea, it corrects the light rays entering your eye, enabling sharper and more precise vision.
With the Vivity Toric IOL, patients have the opportunity to correct both the clouded lens from cataracts and the distortion due to astigmatism in one surgical intervention. This dual correction is particularly appealing for those who have long struggled with glasses or contact lenses that fail to completely address their visual issues.

Many premium IOLs can sometimes cause visual disturbances such as halos, glare, or starburst effects, especially in low-light environments. The Vivity Toric IOL, however, is designed to minimize these side effects effectively. Its X-WAVE technology creates a smooth continuum of refractive power, which means fewer abrupt transitions in light quality.
The result is a more stable and comfortable vision, particularly in challenging visual settings like night driving. This low incidence of visual aberrations provides added confidence to patients who worry about potential post-operative glare or loss of clarity.
In a world where many of us spend hours in front of screens, clear intermediate vision is more important than ever. The Vivity Toric IOL shines when it comes to computer and digital device use. It offers a natural range of vision that supports long periods of screen time without causing undue eye fatigue.
Not only does this lens deliver excellent intermediate vision, but it also filters some of the harmful blue light from digital devices. This additional feature helps reduce eye strain and can be a protective measure against digital eye stress, making it an excellent option for modern lifestyles.
Many cataract patients seek a solution that decreases their reliance on glasses for day-to-day tasks. The Vivity Toric IOL significantly reduces this need and offers enhanced vision that can lessen dependence on corrective eyewear. While some patients may still opt for reading glasses for very fine details or tasks, the overall improvement in functional vision is notable.
This reduction in dependency can provide greater freedom in daily activities such as sports, recreation, and even driving, contributing to a more active and comfortable lifestyle. For those who have long struggled with the inconvenience of switching between glasses and contacts, the Vivity Toric IOL offers a welcome solution.
