  surgery.

Can LASIK correct astigmatism?

• Although traditional LASIK procedures can
  correct astigmatism, most eye surgeons consider
  it a more difficult task than correcting
  nearsightedness or farsightedness. Since there
  are different types of astigmatism and varying
  degrees of each, only your eye surgeon in Plano
  can properly evaluate your situation and give you
  a realistic projection of what to expect with
  regards to your astigmatism correction using
  LASIK.

Can LASIK eye surgery correct farsightedness?

• Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a
  condition of the eye whereby people are able to
  see distant objects clearly but things up close
  are blurry. This condition can easily be
  corrected using LASIK eye surgery. During the
  procedure the eye surgeon will reshape the sides
  of the cornea in order to steepen the slope of
  the central region.
