Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a visual defect in the curvature of the refractive surface of the eye, resulting in blurred vision. Until recently, glasses (and later, toric contact lenses) were the correction of choice for many. However, for those who are tired of the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, there is LASIK. If you have astigmatism, Global Laser Vision can give you a whole new way of seeing the world.

We have the experience and cutting-edge equipment to help you toss your glasses. Our eye surgeons have performed more than 30,000 laser corrective procedures. They carefully evaluate each potential LASIK patient with a complete eye examination. This exam includes a variety of testing for both the visual acuity and the health of the eye.

We are able to deliver unprecedented accuracy in vision correction because of the Wavefront equipment we use. This is particularly important for astigmatism correction. The customized treatments we offer have established a new standard for correction by laser. Our WaveScan technology is 25 times more precise in measuring the imperfections in your eye. It also provides digital information, which is transferred to the laser for use during the procedure.
