Astigmatism, need a favor

[ldsnet]

Side note Will laser fix an astigmatism? I have a HSA burning a hole in my pocket and have been thinking about laser for a while now. Need to do some research I guess and consult a specialist.

In most cases, yes they can correct an astigmatism with lasik or prk; BUT, know going in, that having 20/20 following surgery does not mean 20/20 the rest of your life. Your eyes will continue to change as you age. 12 years after my surgery my astigmatism returned to the point that I needed reading glasses (distance vision was still OK). Now 17 years after my procedure, I am considering a full time wear prescription to correct for distance too.

I was 20/200 before my surgery, so 20/40 with an astigmatism 17 years later, I would say surgery was a success.

Thanks guys, going to look in to lasik down the road after we get caught up on some things.

Had my eyes done here years ago - was satisfied. Solved my astigmatism and glasses problem. Half what I would have paid in California.

Not to be a debbie downer but everyone's astigmatism will look different. Looking through a small peep sight may help some. Red dots, holos and fiber may work different for everyone. Have to try them all to see what works if any.

But I do use the peep aperture to clean up my red dot sights when target shooting.
