Our team of expert ophthalmologists uses advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to enhance vision and improve the quality of life for our valued patients.

Understanding Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a common refractive error that affects the way light enters the eye. It occurs when the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, or the lens, has an irregular shape. This irregularity leads to blurred or distorted vision at various distances, causing difficulties in focusing on both near and distant objects.

Common Symptoms of Astigmatism

• Blurred or distorted vision
• Eyestrain and fatigue
• Headaches
• Squinting
• Difficulty seeing at night

The Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery for Astigmatism

Laser eye surgery has revolutionized the way astigmatism is corrected, offering numerous benefits compared to traditional methods. At Eye Laser Surgery Sydney, our experienced ophthalmologists utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to provide precise and customized treatments, resulting in outstanding visual outcomes for our patients.

1. Improved Visual Clarity

With laser eye surgery, the irregular shape of the cornea is reshaped through the use of a laser, enabling light to enter the eye correctly. This correction leads to improved visual clarity, eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses in many cases.

2. Enhanced Quality of Life

Freedom from dependence on glasses or contact lenses can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with astigmatism. Activities such as sports, travel, and even simple daily tasks become more convenient and enjoyable without the need for visual aids.

3. Quick and Efficient Procedure

Laser eye surgery for astigmatism is a quick and efficient outpatient procedure, typically lasting only a few minutes per eye. The advanced technology used ensures minimal discomfort during the surgery and allows for a speedy recovery, enabling patients to resume their normal activities soon after the treatment.

4. Long-lasting Results

One of the key advantages of laser eye surgery for astigmatism is its long-lasting results. The correction achieved through the procedure is permanent, providing patients with stable and clear vision for many years to come.

The Laser Eye Surgery Procedure

At Eye Laser Surgery Sydney, our skilled ophthalmologists perform laser eye surgery for astigmatism using advanced methodologies, tailored to meet each patient's unique needs. Here is a brief overview of the procedure:

1. Comprehensive Eye Examination

Prior to undergoing laser eye surgery, our ophthalmologists conduct a thorough eye examination to assess the specific characteristics of each patient's astigmatism, ensuring the most suitable treatment plan is devised.

2. Local Anesthesia

Before the procedure commences, a local anesthetic eye drop is administered to ensure maximum comfort throughout the surgery. This eliminates any potential pain or discomfort during the treatment.

3. Corneal Reshaping with Laser

Using a specialized laser, our ophthalmologists carefully reshape the cornea to correct the irregularities causing astigmatism. The laser technology employed ensures precision, safety, and an effective outcome.

4. Post-Operative Care

Following the surgery, patients are provided with detailed instructions on post-operative care. Our dedicated team closely monitors the healing process and guides individuals on proper medication, eye drops, and any required follow-up appointments.
