A member asked:

I was wondering is astigmatism curable with laser treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often yes: Depending on the amount of astigmatism, and a few technical issues about the location and type of astigmatism you may have, custom laser vision correction surgery is very effective at treating astigmatism. Go and get a consult if you are serious
