Many patients with myopia and hyperopia have some degree of astigmatism, or an oval shape, to their cornea. It occurs when your cornea is shaped more like a football than a basketball. As a result, you experience distortion or tilting of images due to the unequal bending of light rays entering your eyes. People with high degrees of astigmatism have blurred vision for both near and distant objects.
There is also very little evidence to support that LASIK is a safe and effective procedure for children. Some surgeons may choose to perform LASIK on young patients with extreme vision conditions such as anisometropic amblyopia, or “lazy eye.” Normally, children with lazy eye are prescribed glasses or contact lenses or must wear an eye patch over their good eye to force stimulation and improve vision in their bad eye. When conventional treatment is not effective, however, some doctors may authorize LASIK to be performed on children.
