Can astigmatism become an operation


Healing with compassion, caring with dedication.
I can tell you clearly that astigmatism can be treated surgically. There are three main ways to treat astigmatism: first, wearing glasses. Second, wearing contact lenses. Third, surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is generally used to treat congenital astigmatism or astigmatism caused by eye surgery. Surgical methods include transverse keratotomy, curved keratotomy and limbal incision. Transverse keratotomy is mainly used as a combined radial keratotomy to correct myopic astigmatism, but it has been largely discontinued clinically at this stage. AK used to be mainly used to correct naturally occurring astigmatism, but is currently mainly used to correct astigmatism after keratoplasty. If the patient has a limbal release incision, this surgical method is mainly used to treat astigmatism after cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. At present, the surgery mainly used for astigmatism correction is excimer laser refractive keratological surgery.
