There are three components. First, we measure the amount of astigmatism in your cornea by obtaining a corneal topography map before and after surgery. The second component is astigmatism evaluation and surgical planning. This is a cognitive component that accounts for the bulk of the work. The third component is the surgical management. Astigmatic correction requires additional surgical steps.
