A member asked:
I do have an astigmatism, but do you think they could do surgery?

Maybe: Many cases of astigmatism can be corrected with laser vision correction. However, it really depends on several factors including: the type and location (cornea vs. lens) and regularity of the astigmatism. If you are serious about this, you need a full exam and testing by an experienced eye surgeon to be sure.
