Astigmatism

Astigmatism is an optical defect in the curvature of the refractive surface of the eye, causing blurred vision. For many years, LASIK surgery wasn't an option for people with astigmatism. Only glasses and contact lenses could improve the vision of astigmatism sufferers. However, technological developments in the laser vision industry have created new options for people with astigmatism. LASIK can now be performed on people with astigmatism and we can finally help you get rid of the glasses and contacts that have made your life so much more difficult than necessary.

Although GLV surgeons have performed more than 30,000 surgeries, we still take each individual surgery very seriously and carefully examine each patient to determine the procedure that will deliver the best results and allow you to be free from the restrictions of glasses and contacts. Because of our extensive pre-operative examinations, we are able to provide great vision correction results for our patients.

Wavefront LASIK is an incredible medical advancement and has created a new option for people with astigmatism. Our WaveScan system is much more precise (25x) than any previous systems in measuring imperfections and relaying that key information to the laser during your surgery.
