Astigmatism will not go away on its own. It will either stay the same or get worse with age. While this reality can seem daunting, the good news is that it can be easily corrected. What level of astigmatism require glasses? People who haveabout 1.5 or more diopters ofastigmatism usually ...

Standard eye exams are used to diagnose and design treatment for conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, and ocular disease – but they cannot always detect binocular vision dysfunction. Why does my vision improve when I tilt my head? When the eyes are out ...
Near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (loss of reading vision with age) are called refractive errors. Over the years, several researchers have designed eye exercise programs to treat refractive errors. Do they work? This Article Improved My Health Changed My Life Saved My...
automatically programmed and monitored by the computer. Earlier co-existing astigmatism required the patient to wear spectacles even after surgery but now with Femtosecond cataract surgery; astigmatism (up to 2 dioptres) is also treatable hence doing away with the hassle of spectacles post-cataract ...
The scar-astigmatism could be fixed, either by working on the current cornea or transplanting. I’m not interested in either. Nope. Not gonna. The upside is that I can use a computer all day long without glasses. Non computer, I’ll use bifocals, though I have computer glasses in single...
from ancient “couching”—pushing away the clouded lens with a sharp needle—to artificial replacements known as intraocular lenses (IOLs) marks a remarkable advancement. These implantable lenses not only restore vision but also can correct common sight impairments such as myo...
c. Refractive error (hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism), in any spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00 diopters; if ordinary spectacles cause discomfort by reason of ghost images or prismatic displacement; or if corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery. However, for entrance...
