Dr.David Kleiman about Astigmatism: Astigmatism causes a distortion of vision, where a person may experience an overall blurriness. Information regarding an astigmatism is found in the cylinder column. Many people with myopia or hyperopia have some degree of astigmatism
Although many people who have had LASIK at believe they see better than they did with eyeglasses or contact lenses before surgery, not everyone has the same experience. After LASIK, you can expect your vision to be slightly better or about the same as it was with glasses.
