Astigmatism is a focusing problem caused either by an irregularly curved surface of the eye or an irregularly shaped lens. Several lens implants are available that can compensate for this condition. Lens implants for astigmatism must be precisely positioned and aligned inside the eye for maximum benefit. Before surgery, these lenses require extra eye measurements and services. If you are interested in reducing your astigmatism to become less dependent on glasses, discuss this option with us.
