We have the lowest Toric IOL prices in Florida.Our prices are cheaper than even the testing at other clinics. Several of our Tampa area competitors charge $300 to $500 for testing not covered by insurance whether or not you get the upgraded lens. At our clinic, you don’t pay for topography if you don’t get a toric lens. We do that important test for free on 99% of our cataract patients.

There are now many toric IOL models available in the US. The cost to implant any of the monofocal ones is only $795 per eye at The Eye Clinic of Florida (including testing). That price is usually $1500 to $2000 at other Tampa Bay practices (that doesn’t include their testing charges!)

Toric lens implants make financial sense for patients at The Eye Clinic of Florida. If it saves you from buying one or two pairs of glasses, it often pays for itself. Medical insurances and Medicare don’t pay for toric lens implants. They don’t care what your prescription is after surgery. But you do! Surgically fixing astigmatism later would be LASIK and around $1500 to $2000. Toric IOL’s don’t have to be expensive, and they aren’t at The Eye Clinic of Florida.

In 2013, The Eye Clinic of Florida was the first practice in the Tampa/Pasco market to offer the new Trulign implant which corrected both presbyopia and astigmatism. Great vision without glasses across a range of distance and near. Since then, many other presbyopia-correcting implants have become available. They all have astigmatism correcting models. Nearly all have 90% of the astigmatism correction needed for the human species right in the lens at no additional cost.

That doesn’t keep our competitors from charging more. See us first and save.

A few other points to consider:

• Not everyone has enough astigmatism to correct.Some Tampa area surgeons use insignificant amounts of astigmatism as an excuse to charge more or even to use a laser unnecessarily. A patient recently brought us her records where the surgeon recommended $1000 in extra surgery costs. She had less than one click of the dial astigmatism. Read our reviews over the years on Vitals.com or Google Reviews. With over 3000 Toric implant patients, we couldn’t be prouder of our record and costs.
• Surgeons should be accurate with their regular surgery before trying Toric IOL’s.Before the mid-2000’s Ophthalmologists couldn’t charge more for astigmatism management with cataract surgery. So, despite 55% of the population with astigmatism, less than 2% were offered the lens. Now that they can charge more—everyone is trying it. We haven’t raised our prices in 10 years. About 85-90% of our Toric IOL patients are within 1/2 diopter of no prescription.
• Cataract Surgeons must have a surgical technique that doesn’t create astigmatism or hasten astigmatic changes later.Our technique generates less than .25 diopters of astigmatism. That’s less than one click of a dial on the phoropter (the machine you sit behind, and we ask you “which is better 1 or 2). A very large percentage of our patients are still 20/30 or better without glasses 10 years later.
• The topography isn’t the only factor.Most doctors only measure the curvature of the front surface. We measure the back surfaces as well and had one of the first machines in the US to directly do that.
• Surgeons should account for the natural aging of the eye. This comes with experience. You don’t want to correct things for now but make things worse 15 years from now. We have the experience to help you see for life.

People with astigmatism see things more stretched or distorted than reality. We can help you see your best with the best scientifically proven technology, with experience matched by few and prices matched by almost no one.
