The correct term is implant if you are talking about lens. Transplant means that you are receiving tissue from a human donor. The replacement for your lens will be manufactured. Your need for this surgery is not due to the strength of your prescription but from the poor quality of your vision with correction. You could be talking about cornea transplant in which case your high amount of astigmatism might be a symptom of a very misshapen cornea.
