Can astigmatism be treated with lasik surgery?

Astigmatism or blurred vision is caused by the curvature of your cornea. Lasik surgery will go in and reshape your cornea. There are other treatments too:

• Glasses are the most reliable treatment and most people still prefer them
• Contacts are another option only you have to decide whether to go with hard or soft and other options
• Lasik is the refractive surgery to have done for the astigmatism
• Custom lasik or Wavefront is another treatment and its much more precise
• Implantable lens are the newest idea for those who do not want lasik or glasses or contacts.

Before making a decision, you should talk with your physician and your health care provider to ensure you are making the best decision for your own health.
