\*\*Patients must be able to get care at Nellis Air Force Base (a military installation) in order to participate in this study\*\*
Inclusion Criteria:
* Active duty and DoD beneficiaries aged 30 years or older undergoing cataract surgery
* Corneal astigmatism ≥ 1.0 D and a surgical plan that includes a toric intraocular lens for astigmatism correction. (The lens used will be the TECNIS IOL. It will be used on label)
* No observed zonular or capsular problems prior to, or at the time of, capsular tension ring insertion
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients undergoing cataract surgery who do not have corneal astigmatism ≥1.0 D.
* Any observed zonular or capsular problems prior to, or at the time of, capsular tension ring insertion.
* Pre-existing ocular conditions, including:Pre-existing ocular conditions, including:
* Pseudoexfoliation syndrome in one or both eyes
* Prior incisional ocular surgery
* Lens subluxation
* Poor dilation or inability to position at the slit lamp (making postoperative outcome measurements difficult or impossible)
* Plans for extensive travel or to move away during the postoperative evaluation period
* Other conditions that would influence the capsule or lens positioning
* Surgical plan to include other procedures at the time of initial cataract surgery, such as Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRIs), Micro-Incisional Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), etc.
