The Eminent Treatment To Cure Astigmatism
Astigmatism is an eye defect wherein there is a malformed curve of the eye lens. Frequently, the technique to remedy astigmatism is to have glasses. In our family with 7 members, 2 of us are suffering from astigmatism, my brother and I. My brother’s astigmatism was discovered earlier than mine. And since he already ailing with flawed vision, indicating his eyesight is not 20/20 anymore- it just made the situation worse. And because Refractive Surgery was not that ordinarily offered and prominent, our parents brought him to an Ophthalmologist and then directed to wear corrective eyeglasses. He had to wear glasses constantly unless he was washing his face or sleeping. A year or two had gone by and yet his vision did not recover and he still suffered astigmatism. And since the ailment is not astigmatism alone, his eye grade varied over time and he had to change his glasses. Unfortunately, the maintenance is quite expensive and is frequent.
As for me, I have a 20/20 and 20/25 eyesight and is positive for astigmatism too. Like my brother, I had to wear remedial glasses also and because I was so not accustomed to wearing something for my eye, I often don’t wear it and more often lose it. It was very inconvenient and a pain, I thought.
It was in the later months of 2008 that Lasik laser eye surgery was suggested by a family friend. He said it was only a minor surgical procedure and that the recovery from it was quick and that he was able to see its effect and the covalescence it has done to his sister. We were first suspicious and thought it was very invasive but then my brother was very eager to try it. He was 22 when he went through the surgical procedure.
It was his left eye that was operated at first. My brother said there was no throbbing in any way. He only experienced some sort of heaviness to his eye and naturally the dryness; but there is no significant pain, per se. The entire process took only 14 minutes and even after that, my brother did not complain of any twinge or halos or blurring of eyesight in any way. He was prescribed antibiotics and eye drops to help keep the wetness of the treated eye. My brother was advised to wear an eye shield especially at night, avoid having seafood for at least two weeks and avoid things that might hurt the operated eye. Only a few days after the surgery, my brother’s eyesight recovered and he doesn’t wear his eyeglasses to any further extent. A week after, his left eye eyesight were 20/15- almost standard.
LASIK Laser eye operation is an outstanding choice for my brother and for those who have eye problems. It made achievable the things we thought were without a solution. My brother, to date, doesn’t have to wear glasses. It did not only treat his astigmatism but also improved his vision on the whole. With a bit of luck, at the end of this year, he will have the operation for his right eye and we are looking forward to another excellent outcome. We highly suggest Laser Eye Surgery.
