This vision simulator is intended as an educational tool only. The images shown are approximations designed to illustrate general differences between cataracts, astigmatism, and intraocular lens (IOL) options. They do not represent an exact or precise prediction of your personal visual outcome.

Cataract and astigmatism symptoms vary widely between individuals. Cataracts may cause cloudiness, glare, halos, or reduced contrast, while astigmatism can produce blur or distortion at multiple distances. Beyond lens choice, actual vision after cataract surgery varies based on many individual factors, including eye anatomy, pupil size, neural adaptation, and overall ocular health. The simulations shown are representative examples and may not match the specific pattern or severity of your symptoms.

Please use this tool to help understand the trade-offs and differences between lens types and how they may address your symptoms. Discuss your specific options and expectations with your eye surgeon before making any decisions.

For questions about your individual results, consult your ophthalmologist.
