Laser eye surgery: Laser eye surgery can correct most amounts of myopia and astigmatism as long as you are otherwise a good laser candidate. Both lasik and prk can treat these refractive errors and are equally effective long term.

LASIK or PRK: In general, results for nearsightedness and regular astigmatism are very good with either treatment. Many people achieve excellent vision after these treatments. It would be important to know why someone could not wear contacts - as in cases of irregular astigmatism where laser correction would not be an option.
