LASIK VISION CORRECTION SURGERY
What is Astigmatism
A vision problem that occurs when we cannot focus very well on objects that are at a certain distance.
What is Astigmatism?
Dr. Eugenio Cabrera performs Astigmatism surgery, to correct a common visual defect that affects the way light focuses on the retina, resulting in blurry or distorted vision. It can occur alongside myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).
To determine the most suitable treatment, an ophthalmologist will evaluate the specific diagnosis of the patient. Astigmatism is also categorized as a refractive error.
Symptoms
Symptoms associated with astigmatism include:
Blurred vision at both near and far distances.
Redness in the eyes.
Itching and burning sensations.
Dizziness.
Frequent headaches.
Difficulty focusing on objects, whether they are nearby or far away.
Correcting Astigmatism
Several treatment options are available for correcting astigmatism. While rigid contact lenses were previously common, they are no longer favored due to potential long-term consequences. The preferred and more definitive solutions include laser treatments such as Full HD Intelligent Design, Lasek, Lasik, and intraocular lenses. All of these treatments effectively address the visual difficulties associated with astigmatism.
