Is really high astigmatism like -3 cylinder corrected by glasses or lasers?

Both: Optical correction for astigmatism at the -3.00 level and other levels, is available in eyeglasses, contact lenses or lasik correction. Minus three is not "really high" but just moderately high. Discuss the best correction with your ophthalmologist.
