The desire for eye lasers for corneal curvature is very widespread: the corneal curvature affects around 80% of the population and has a hereditary component. Corneal curvature, also called intentionality or astigmatism<\/strong>, is an irregular curvature of the cornea<\/strong> that leads to visual disturbances and blurred vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, a combination with a smaller thickness of the cornea occurs. Can you also laser the eyes<\/a> with a thin cornea? Yes, with the right method you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various methods to treat a corneal curvature (astigmatism)<\/strong>. You can laser the corneal curvature, as a treatment for astigmatism there is also the lens implant for particularly thin corneas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will explain the symptoms of corneal curvature and the prerequisites for successful correction by refractive surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light refraction \u2013 how does astigmatism occur?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your field of vision remain blurry and blurry, regardless of distance or proximity? Then you could suffer from intentionality or astigmatism and should make an appointment with your ophthalmologist<\/a>, such as Doctor-medic<\/a><\/strong> B\u00e1nyai. This can then determine more precisely with an exact diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a corneal curvature<\/a> anyway? As the name suggests, it is based on a curvature of the cornea<\/strong>: the front surface should ideally be regular and spherical. If deliberate, it is instead oval and has a different degree of curvature in different axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the curvature of the cornea is responsible for the refraction of light<\/strong>. In the case of a healthy, uniformly convex cornea, incident light rays strike the retina bundled to a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of a curved cornea, however, it is not one focused beam of light that strikes the center of the retina, but two focal lines<\/strong>. The focal lines are reminiscent of sticks, which is why there is talk of deliberacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why sufferers only perceive blurred or curved lines<\/strong>. A distinction is made between two forms of corneal curvature (astigmatism).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
