Stigmatism or Astigmatism
Stigmatism is not a disease but it can be treated or even cured. The best way to understand astigmatism is that the cornea or the clear dome on the front of the eye (like a crystal on a watch) is shaped like a football rather than round like a baseball. This results in light rays that are bent in two directions and at least one is out of focus.
Astigmatism can be fixed. We are experts at astgmatism treatment in Las Vegas. We can use a multitude of technologies including LRI, AK, Glasses, Excimer Laser PRK or LASIK, Contact Lenses, Implants and thermal energy. Some treatments are FDA approved and some are not. Ask your doctor which option is best for you. Sometimes we use multiple technologies.
