I have a cataract in one eye, and astigmatism.

I've consulted once with an ophthalmologist, but the wait times are so ridiculous these days I can't remember what he said.

I'm interested in the toric lens to fix both the cataract and the astigmatism. But I recently learned about limbal relaxing incisions after cataract surgery to fix astig, and so I'm now wondering if I should go with the plain jane lens, and opt for the incisions?
