Corrective options astigmatism and hyperopia

Postby miamarie » Thu Jan 14, 2010 3:04 am

Hi, I am very interested in vision correction surgery and would like to know what operations are available. I have an astigmatism and hyperopia in both eyes.
Any info is much appreciated, thanks so much!

The more info you can provide the better the feedback. Do you know your prescription? What is your age? Do you currently wear glasses or contacts? If contacts, are they soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP)? You may want to read about hyperopia Lasik and Lasik with astigmatism.
