​LASIK surgery for Astigmatism

Posted by Accuspire on Feb 11th 2021

If you are having astigmatism and tired of dealing with it, there is nothing to worry about as LASIK is there to help you. It is done to correct refractive conditions like astigmatism, farsightedness and nearsightedness. If everything happens as planned, there is no need to wear contact lenses.

As per the reports, it is estimated that nearly it may cost upto 5000 US dollars for a LASIK surgery. Be sure to ask the details in a clear way. Sometimes the cost may be lower than what is quoted. Sometimes paying for lasik surgery is an out of pocket expense and many insurance companies also do not cover it.

LASIK is a surgical process with different types. A laser is used to reshape the cornea and in turn we are able to see clearly. Sometimes complications can occur but it is rare such as pain after the process. Consult your ophthalmologist and get more information about this.

It is also to be noted that it is not an option for everyone as some people with astigmatism have other conditions also such as keratoconus. In this condition lasik is not helpful. Everyones eye is different and lasik can only be performed upto an permissible limit so that you won’t need corrective glasses. Always ask about the merits and demerits of lasik from your doctor and be open minded to him to ask any kind of doubt regarding this procedure.
