Can LASIK Fix Astigmatism?
LASIK eye surgery can correct astigmatism by reshaping the cornea to make it perfectly round again. The laser removes more tissue in the steep part of the cornea to create a perfectly symmetrical cornea. The predictability of astigmatism correction with LASIK is as precise as it is for the correction of nearsightedness.
There are two types of astigmatism, corneal astigmatism, described above, and lenticular astigmatism, which affects our crystalline lens inside the eye. LASIK corrects all astigmatism in the eye, including both corneal and lenticular astigmatism.
There are also other types of corrective eye surgeries available, such as SMILE and PRK. We at NVISION understand that no two eyes are the same, and will always recommend the best procedure for your unique case.
