I recently had cataract surgery and the AcrySof Toric IOL implanted in one eye. At the first checkup, my vision was:
SPH: +1.25
CYL: Nil
AXIS: Nil
Just 2 days ago, my follow up revealed the following
SPH: +1.00
CYL: -0.50
AXIS: 160
Q: During this period, I developed about -0.50 D of astigmatism. What are the chances of my Astig progressing until I'll be needing astigmatic correction in the future?
Q: I hear from my surgeon that some form of astigmatism can be beneficial for my overall vision. What qualify it as "beneficial astigmatism"?
Q: It is believed that mild level of astigmatism does not warrant correction. What range is considered as "mild"? Will my current level of astigmatism require vision correction?
Q: My concern is since my IOL is a toric lens, initial tests showed that it corrected 100% of my astigmatism. The sudden appearance of -0.50 D of Astig, may mean the IOL is rotating inside my eye, thus negating any correction by the IOL? How likely is that the case?
