A normal-shaped cornea is spherical, whereas a person with astigmatism has a cornea that is shaped more like a football, with both flat and steep curves. When light enters an eye with astigmatism, it is focused on multiple different points instead of a single point in the eye, which causes you to see a blurred image. Many people with myopia and hyperopia have some degree of astigmatism as well.
To correct this eye problem, our surgeons will use precise custom maps of the surface of your eye and an excimer laser to reshape the cornea. This then allows light rays to focus directly onto the retina for a clear vision.
We will determine, based on your examination, a customized solution to improve your vision. All you have to do is come in for a free consultation.
