hello...cataract is a very safe surgery,,Aspheric lens like alcon IQ is very good and can be used by anybody...Toric IOL is used only in those patients who have high astigmatism on keratometry done before surgery...IF the astigmatism on keratometry is less than 1.5D go for aspheric but if >1.5 D then u can go for toric lens
