Astigmatism is a common refractive error of the eye that causes blurred or distorted vision at all distances. It occurs when the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) or the lens inside the eye has an irregular curve shape. Instead of being perfectly round like a football, the cornea is shaped more like a rugby ball or an egg, causing light to focus on multiple points in the eye rather than a single point on the retina.

Yes, astigmatism can be effectively corrected with appropriate treatment. While eyeglasses and contact lenses provide temporary correction, laser refractive surgery like LASIK can provide permanent correction by reshaping the cornea. However, regular eye examinations are still recommended to monitor any changes in your vision over time.
Yes, LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for correcting astigmatism. Modern LASIK technology can treat most types and degrees of astigmatism with excellent results. However, candidacy depends on various factors including corneal thickness, degree of astigmatism, and overall eye health. Dr Jyothi will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if LASIK is right for you.
Yes, children can have astigmatism, and it is quite common. Many children are born with mild astigmatism, which may change as they grow. Regular eye examinations for children are important to detect and correct astigmatism early, as uncorrected astigmatism can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and affect academic performance.
Astigmatism can change gradually over time, especially during childhood and young adulthood. In some cases, it may remain stable for many years. Significant changes in astigmatism in adults should be evaluated, as they could indicate other eye conditions like keratoconus or cataracts. Regular eye examinations help monitor any changes in your astigmatism.
The cost of astigmatism treatment varies depending on the correction method chosen - eyeglasses, contact lenses or laser surgery. At Dr Jyothi's Eye Hospital, we offer affordable and transparent pricing for all astigmatism treatments. LASIK surgery costs depend on the technology used and degree of correction needed.

Yes, specially designed contact lenses called toric contact lenses are available for astigmatism correction. These lenses have different powers in different meridians to compensate for the irregular corneal shape. Both soft toric lenses and rigid gas permeable lenses are available options. Dr Jyothi can help determine which type is best suited for your eyes and lifestyle.
