Porter Ophthalmology Publishes New Resource Explaining Toric vs Non-Toric Lenses for Refractive Lens Exchange

Porter Ophthalmology released a patient article titled Toric vs Non-Toric Lenses for Refractive Lens Exchange on February 04, 2026, available online with Nicole Williams Hall for inquiries.
Amid growing interest in RLE, the guide explains clinical drivers like astigmatism and matching lens design to patient goals, as the article clarifies.
Most toric lenses stabilize within the first 24 hours but rare postoperative shifts may require repositioning; both toric and non-toric intraocular lenses come in monofocal, multifocal, and extended depth-of-focus designs.
Because elective RLE lacks coverage, the article explains fees range from $900 to $1,500 per eye, up to $2,000 for some lenses, with an additional toric lens upgrade charge.
The article helps readers identify which lens best aligns with their needs, noting that RLE can eliminate future cataract risk and that patients with higher astigmatism may achieve less dependence on distance glasses with toric lenses.
