Discover everything you need to know about astigmatism and how we treat it below

Astigmatism Overview
Laser eye surgery for astigmatism

In a normal eye, the cornea is shaped so that light rays are highly collimated and directed towards the sharpest point of vision (focus).

In the case of astigmatism, there are different radii of curvature in the two main axes of the cornea. This results in an uncontrolled increased refractive power along certain visual axes. This leads to the perception of distorted images. Objects are often seen twice or with a shadow next to them.

Using laser eye treatment, we can flatten or increase this axis to correct the vision.

Astigmatism causes

An irregular corneal curvature causes astigmatism. This causes the light rays to be refracted irregularly. Astigmatism can also result from an eye injury or from clouding of the eye.

Astigmatism treatments

Laser surgery methods

We can use the following eye laser methods to treat astigmatism:

Lens surgery methods:

Also, surgical procedures (lens implants) are possible:

  • Phakic Lenses (ICLs) (toric)
  • Lens implants with a toric lens

We can use these treatments for a prescription of 6 dioptres. Custom implants are possible in more severe cases.
