What is astigmatism? · Astigmatism is a problem of how the eye focuses light typically caused by a defect in the lens, resulting in distorted images. The word astigmatism comes from the Greek "a" meaning "without" and "stigma" meaning "spot." · To see clearly, the eye must be able to focus light into a single plane at the surface of the retina. In astigmatism, a point (or spot) of light is focused at two different planes, causing blurred vision. An optical system (or eye) without astigmatism is called "spherical" and has only one plane of foc ...
Both excimer laser and incisional techniques may be used to correct astigmatism after LASIK, but the treatment of irregular astigmatism requires selective zonal ablation techniques or...

Type, Description ; Traditional LASIK (Standard LASIK), A standard LASIK surgery uses a microkeratome (precision blade instrument) to create a flap in the cornea. A surgeon folds the flap back, uses a laser to reshape the cornea, then returns the flap to its original position. ; Custom LASIK (Wavefront LASIK), Custom LASIK involves “wavefront” laser technology, creating a 3-dimensional image of the eye that surgeons use to customize your LASIK procedure. ; IntraLASIK (Bladeless), IntraLASIK technology uses lasers to create the initial flap required during LASIK procedures, eliminating the need for a blade.
stands for“laser in situ keratomileusis.” LASIK is a type of surgery to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. A device called a microkeratome, which is like a...
We describe a method of lifting and replacing the laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap to reduce the incidence of epithelial ingrowth beneath the flap after LASIK enhancement. In the...

This article is from September 2004 and may contain outdated material. A 60-year-old patient bounds into the office of corneal specialist Ernest W. Kornmehl, MD, seeking a consult. Given his age, it would be natural to assume that this patient needs cataract surgery. Don’t be so sure. In an era when Baby Boomers continue to redefine aging, this patient wants to talk about LASIK. And he is not alone. Dr. Kornmehl has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of older patients requesting LASIK, a trend he not only welcomes but also considers ...
