Treatment of astigmatism
The human eye is a complex system of natural lenses. When light beams pass through these lenses, they focus at a specific point on the retina to create a sharp image. Astigmatism is a condition caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or the lens which prevents the eye from focusing light evenly.

The main goal of corrective treatment for this refractive error is to tune the refractive system of the eye so that to obtain proper optical focus at a required point for quality vision without astigmatism-related distortions.
Modern opthalmology offers proven methods of astigmatism treatment!

Laser vision correction
The most popular method of astigmatism correction these days is laser vision correction. The reason is simple: in 5 minutes or so you get a 100% vision for many years to come!
- People with astigmatism of up to ±5,0 D
Recommended age for correction is 18 to 45. In all cases, correction shall be greenlighted by your attending doctor with respect to the case specifics.
Astigmatism vision correction is essentially laser-assisted reshaping the cornea according to the precalculated values to improve optical parameters and make the optical focus clear.
The patients regain normal vision as early as in 1,5 to 2 hours after the correction. As compared to spectacles and contact lenses, laser correction solves the problem of impaired vision once and for all, without the need for any additional vision-enhancing contraptions.
Refractive lens exchange (lensectomy)
Best choice for patients with severe myopia!
- People with astigmatism of up to ±3,0 D.
Recommended for patients aged 45 and above. However, this procedure is also available to the patients of other age groups. In all cases, refractive lens exchange shall be greenlighted by your attending doctor with respect to the case specifics.
Lensectomy as a method of astigmatism treatment consists in exchanging the natural eye lens for an artificial intraocular toric lens.
Intraocular toric lens implantation helps you eliminate astigmatism and other eye diseases such as cataract or presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) and enjoy a new quality of vision!
Optical astigmatism correction
- People with astigmatism of up to ±6,0 D.
Recommended for patients aged 45 and above. However, this procedure is also available to the patients of other age groups. In all cases, refractive lens exchange shall be greenlighted by your attending doctor with respect to the case specifics.
The most widely used method of optical correction for astigmatism is spectacles with cylindrical lenses to adjust them for nearsightedness or farsightedness as needed.
Glasses with complex cylindrical lenses are selected and prescribed by your doctor only after a thourough examination and diagnostics of the optical system. It is important to keep in mind that incorrectly selected glasses may contribute to the worsening of your vision and lead to degenerative eye conditions!
Toric front-surface contact lenses – astigmatism of up to ±4,5 D.
Toric back-surface contact lenses – astigmatism of up to ±6,0 D.
Toric lenses are specially made for contact correction of astigmatism. Such lenses are thicker than the regular ones, being at the same time spherical and cylindrical. Either front surface or back surface of the lens may be shaped so as to have a toric surface.
Toric contact lenses are selected and prescribed by your doctor only after a thourough examination and diagnostics of the optical system.
It is important to keep in mind that incorrectly selected glasses may contribute to the worsening of your vision and lead to degenerative eye conditions! Your doctor will also give you advice on how to use these lenses.
