Can astigmatism be corrected?

Dr. Victor Derhartunian explains whether laser eye treatments can correct astigmatism

Yes, astigmatism can be corrected very well with an eye laser.
It must be said that more severe astigmatism requires more frequent follow-up treatment.
You simply have to wait a certain amount of time after the first operation, wait for stability and then you can correct this corneal curvature again.
This is basically a little polishing so that we really have this optimal result after the entire operation.
However, astigmatism can be corrected very well nowadays with laser eye surgery.
