Does Lasik correct astigmatism? By the way, what is astigmatism?
Most people who have nearsightedness or farsightedness also have astigmatism, and laser vision correction is routinely used to correct astigmatism as well as the other problems. Astigmatism occurs when the eye is shaped with a little irregularity, like the back of a spoon. Astigmatism blurs the vision at both distance and near. Even large amounts of astigmatism can now be corrected with Lasik.
