1. LASIK can’t fix astigmatism

Actually, it can. Well probably. If you have an astigmatism, you likely already know what it is and have used the football analogy to describe it to people who have no idea what you’re talking about. But, can LASIK turn your football-shaped cornea into a basketball? 

LASIK works by using a highly focused laser to reshape the cornea, and people with mild to moderate astigmatism can be candidates for the procedure. However, you first must be a candidate for LASIK, which we can determine if you are.

People who wear contacts on a daily basis know that the struggle is very real and very consistent. Even past those first few days, even once you think you’re getting the hang of the whole thing, there is so much that goes wrong that people without contacts just. don’t. understand.
