Suggest Treatment For Cataract And Astigmatism
Question: My wife sees only out of her left eye. The eye had developed a fast growing cataract and has a considerable astigmatism. The doctor recommended the medium distance Toric IOL. She had the surgery about a week ago and things are improving but she can only see clearly a few feet. The lens is the SNA6AT5, 15.5D Power. I have tried to look up whether this is the close or intermediate lens but cannot find it on the web. Which is it?

Lens is 15.5 in power, 13.0 mm length, 6.0 mm optics. What distance is this lens supposed to allow one to see most clearly?
Brief Answer:
Lens power
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for getting back to me.
These configurations of lens do not matter.It is the configurations of eye as to the type of power the eye was having before surgery.
There is a assessment by axial length and curvature of cornea measurements their interpretation by computer analysis gives us the power of lens to be put in the eye.There we have to make a objective assessment of requirements of the patient to vary the iol power.I hope I am making some sense to you and you are able to follow me.
Basically your initial power of eye and lens should combine to give satisfactory result.
We have to know how many lines on the vision chart she is able to read.
Any further query in this regard please do get back to me.

This is not supposed to happen. In clean surgeries you are supposed to see much more.
There may be some external or internal swelling which may take some more time to redo completely. So continue with medication and things will definitely improve as compared to what it is at the moment.
