Correcting Eyesight Problems Treatment For Astigmatism
Astigmatism can be effectively treated by laser.
Astigmatism is caused by an unevenly shaped eyeball
(like a rugby ball).
About half of glasses wearers have this added problem.
When an astigmatic person
looks at the spokes of a wheel, some spokes appear
clearer than others. Because only parts of the
image are correctly focused, distortion is caused
at all distances. Astigmatism is shown on your
glasses prescription in the box marked CYL. and
is measured by the strength of a cylindrical lens
needed to achieve best vision.
The third box, AXIS, shows the angle at which
astigmatism lies across the eye. The laser is
set to remove more tissue in the line of astigmatism.
Laser Eye Treatment is given immediately after
short/ long sight treatment, without additional
charge.
