What Is Astigmatism?
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with astigmatism or know little about it, astigmatism is an abnormality in the curvature of your eye’s cornea. An abnormally shaped cornea interferes with the light passing through your eye. Astigmatism causes light to focus on separate points, leading to vision issues. Meanwhile, a normally shaped cornea focuses the light passing so it hits your retina at a single focal point.
Common symptoms related to astigmatism include:
- Blurry vision
- Strained focus
- Headaches
- Eye-muscle pain
- Dry eyes
Do these symptoms sound like the ones you’re experiencing? Through a routine eye exam with our optometrists, we can help determine if you have astigmatism. We’ll also work with you to find out if LASIK is the best option for you.
Can LASIK Correct Astigmatism?
After an astigmatism diagnosis, patients usually ask “does LASIK fix astigmatism?” With the help of our cutting-edge technological resources, our doctors can correct your astigmatism and renew your eyesight. The LASIK procedure takes about 15 minutes to complete for both eyes, and the recovery time is relatively prompt as well. Typically, patients notice a difference in their vision by the next day and can even resume regular activity.
What Does a LASIK Evaluation Involve?
How Effective is LASIK?
At Michigan Eye Institute, we want to help you achieve your best visual results. We accomplish this by thoroughly evaluating your eyes with a series of diagnostic tests. Afterward, we’ll take you through your results so you understand whether or not you would be a good candidate for LASIK. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for everyone, as some patients may have a case of astigmatism that’s too severe. In this event, Michigan Eye Institute eye doctors can still work out other treatments to alleviate your condition.
