Hyperopia

Hyperopia: Also known as farsightedness, is the refractive error in which vision is better for distant objects than for near objects.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism: The normal cornea is round, like a basketball. Astigmatism causes the cornea to be shaped more like a football or an egg. This causes distortion in vision.

CustomVue™ LASIK Results for Mixed Astigmatism*

• More than 95 percent of participants could see well enough to pass a driving test a year after treatment.
