Astigmatism affects how light enters the eye, creating blurred vision at all distances. When the cornea has an irregular shape, images focus unevenly on the retina, producing that characteristic wavering or distorted appearance.
Unlike simple myopia or hyperopia, astigmatism involves a complex optical error. Your eye may be steeper in one meridian and flatter in another, like a football instead of a sphere. This variation prevents sharp focus whether you're reading, driving, or watching a screen.
Modern correction reshapes the cornea to restore uniform curvature, allowing light to focus precisely on the retina. Laser-based refractive surgery has transformed astigmatism management, offering patients independence from glasses and contact lenses.
Turkey's partner clinics use advanced techniques including LASIK and femtosecond laser technology, combined with rigorous pre-operative screening. Treatment success depends on your specific eye anatomy, the degree of astigmatism, and strict post-operative care.
Turquie Santé connects you with experienced ophthalmologists who evaluate your candidacy and customize your correction plan.
