Operation
astigmatism
Astigmatism is an anomaly in the vertical and horizontal curvature of the cornea, resulting in blurred vision in one axis and sharp vision in the other. The image of objects does not form exactly on the retina, and the shape of the cornea disturbs focusing.
Treatment
Purpose of the operation
To correct astigmatism, the technique involves sculpting the cornea to restore a balance between the curvature of the vertical and horizontal axes. The treatment of myopia or hyperopia can be combined in the same operation.
- Quick, painless operation
- Local anesthesia
- Very rapid visual recovery (a few hours)

FAQ
Some quick answers to your questions
What are the most common symptoms of astigmatism?
What is the main cause of astigmatism?
The main cause is corneal deformation. In fact, its curvature is irregular: oval instead of rounded. The image of objects does not form exactly on the retina, and the shape of the cornea disturbs focusing.
How long does laser surgery for astigmatism last?
Laser time is just a few minutes. With preparation time and post-operative check-up, you'll be at Vision Future for just one hour.
