What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism affects nearly 1 in 3 people and often occurs alongside myopia or hyperopia. Unlike a perfectly round cornea (shaped like a basketball), an astigmatic cornea is shaped more like a football, causing light to focus on multiple points instead of one.
In Gurugram, astigmatism is commonly detected during routine eye exams or when patients seek LASIK consultation. Modern refractive procedures can effectively correct astigmatism, often in combination with other refractive errors, providing complete freedom from glasses.
🏙️ Context in Gurugram
