Astigmatism can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Optical compensation is achieved by compensating for the irregular curvature such that rays of light meet at a single focus point. In the case of glasses, this is achieved using so-called cylindrical glass, which must be positioned in a certain orientation in front of the eyes. Alternatively, astigmatism can also be treated with an operation. Femto LASIK is recommended in mild to medium cases of astigmatism. In severe cases of astigmatism, intraocular contact lenses are used for correction.
In combination with presbyopia, astigmatism can be corrected by placing multifocal intraocular lenses.
