Frequently Asked Questions
Can astigmatism get worse over time?
Astigmatism can change gradually over time, but it doesn't always get worse. Regular eye exams help monitor any changes and update your prescription as needed.
Can I wear contact lenses with astigmatism?
Yes, toric contact lenses are specifically designed for astigmatism. They have different powers in different parts of the lens to correct the irregular corneal shape.
Is LASIK effective for astigmatism?
Yes, LASIK is very effective for treating astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea to correct the irregular curvature that causes blurred vision.
Does insurance cover Astigmatism treatment?
Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
