Astigmatism and myopia are getting worse and worse

Astigmatism plus myopia, if the prescription gradually worsens, vision can be corrected by wearing glasses, contact lenses and other methods. Symptoms can also be improved by surgical treatment.

1. Non-surgical treatment

1. Wear glasses: For patients with mild to moderate astigmatism and myopia, glasses can be considered to improve vision. These glasses are made of optical materials that focus light on the retina to correct vision.

2. Contact lenses: Contact lenses are glasses that attach directly to the surface of the cornea, which are characterized by being transparent and not easy to wear.Since it fits snugly to the surface of the eyeball, it puts less pressure on the eye and does not cause problems such as eye discomfort or dry eyes.

2. Surgical treatment

1. Laser refractive keratotomy: This is a common laser procedure used to correct high myopia and astigmatism. This procedure utilizes an excimer laser to precisely cut the corneal tissue to alter the radius and thickness of the cornea's curvature, which allows light to be focused on the retina, thereby improving vision.

2. Intraocular lens implantation: suitable for people who are older and not suitable for laser surgery. Intraocular lens implantation is the placement of a device similar to the lens of a human eye inside the eyeball to replace the damaged lens and provide clear vision.

Any surgery has certain risks and limitations, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate treatment plan according to the individual situation and strictly follow the doctor's advice and guidance.
