Congratulations, if you want your astigmatism corrected you have come to the BEST and only place to have that done. Here at SafeSight we have corrected more cases of astigmatism than ANY other center in New York. Here at Park Avenue LASEK we also specialize in treating extreme prescriptions including high degrees of astigmatism.
What is Astigmatism:
A person’s corneal prescription is based on two factors, the curvature of the the cornea and the amount of stretching that occurs across the cornea. A normal cornea should look like a perfect circle. When it is stretched this is called Astigmatism. This stretching of the cornea results in the cornea looking more like a football, rather than a baseball. As you are aware people with an astigmatism have blurrier vision and more glaring and halos at night.
Here at Park Avenue LASEK, our SafeSight procedure corrects astigmatism by correcting the curvature of your cornea. In addition to getting rid of your Astigmatism, we can also offer you a CustomVue Wavefront procedure. The CustomVue procedure will reduce the impact of night glare and halos. Park Avenue LASEK is the only center that can offer true High Definition or CustomVue treatments.
