Can I have laser surgery for myopia and astigmatism?

If myopia and astigmatism occur and are not corrected in time, causing the degree of the eye to continue to worsen, and if it exceeds the borderline of false vision, it will be impossible to restore vision through correction. At this time, if you want to cure myopia and astigmatism, the best and most effective way is to have surgery. Laser surgery is the most commonly used method in this regard. However, there is still the problem of rebound after laser surgery.

Can myopia with astigmatism still undergo laser surgery?

I believe that many friends with myopia will be found to have astigmatism when they are wearing glasses to correct their vision, so the lenses they are given must have both myopia and astigmatism degrees. So can myopia and astigmatism be treated surgically? Some patients are worried that they cannot undergo myopia surgery or that the surgical effect will not be good. In fact, this situation can be completely treated with surgery.

For most people, astigmatism will neither get worse nor get better, but myopia will get worse for a variety of reasons. If you are over 18 years old and your myopia is stable, you can also choose to go to the hospital for examination and undergo excimer laser surgery.

Usually this type of surgery can not only correct myopia, but also correct astigmatism through the doctor designing appropriate models and data for you. In general, laser surgery to correct myopia combined with astigmatism requires the astigmatism to be below 600 degrees, but the effect is better below 200 degrees.

Astigmatism is actually an abnormal refractive condition of the eye, which is related to the curvature of the cornea. The human eye is not perfect. If the cornea is curved at some angles and flat at other angles, the light cannot be accurately focused on the retina. This condition is called astigmatism.

In addition to the cornea, the uneven curvature of the lens is another cause of astigmatism. People with astigmatism have difficulty seeing objects in detail. Generally speaking, astigmatism does not occur alone, and the patient's eyes are usually accompanied by myopia or hyperopia.
