Treatment For Astigmatism In Carlsbad: A Vision Corrective Measure
The astigmatism is the state of the eye where the shape of the cornea is elliptical
instead of being spherical. The light rays from the object are focused at the edge
of the cornea instead of being focused in front of the cornea. The victim of the
astigmatism is unable to see nearby as well as the distant objects. Under the
treatment for astigmatism in Carlsbad, lenses and some other measures like lasik
surgery are available as vision corrective measure. With the new advances in the
technology, the lasik surgery can correct higher levels of astigmatism. The lasik
treatment for astigmatism in Carlsbad eliminates the use of thick glasses or
problematic contact lenses that are prescribed often for this condition.

How Lasik Treatment For Astigmatism Corrects The Disorder....
1. Astigmatism occurs mainly due to the irregularity in the shape of the cornea. If
the shape of the cornea is altered or re-molded then the sight of the eye can be
drastically improved. This change in the structure of cornea corrects all the
disorders of the eye like astigmatism, near sightedness and far sightedness.
2. Flattening the corneal tissue solves the problem of the near sightedness, while
giving spherical shape to the elliptically shaped cornea solves the problem of
astigmatism.
3. The shape of the cornea is changed by changing the pattern of the laser beam.
The laser beam removes the tissue from one side and hence the cornea is given a
spherical shape. When the extra tissue is removed, the cornea is flattened and
this solves another vision defect that is near sightedness.
