Is it possible for laser eye surgery to correct both astigmatism and myopia on the same eye?

It is very possible. I had both problems, severe myopia (-7.00) and astigmatism, and had Lasik less than 6 weeks ago. I can see better now than I ever did with contacts or glasses!!

Yes, it is possible. I had it done. I had both astigmatism and myopia (nearsightedness) in my left eye and only myopia in my right eye. Also, if you are worried about the cost, many offices work with a company called CareCredit (www.carecredit.com) that will help you finance procedures like this for 0% interest for a certain length of time. They helped me. : )

Absolutely. Refractive surgery can correct significant amounts of nearsightedness and astigmatism simultaneously. There is a limit as to how much. Your eye doctor should be able to discern if you have potential for success.

Laser eye surgery will correct astigmatism and near sightenedness. It will not correct far sightedness.

Yes, many clinics will give you a free scanning to see if you're a candidate.

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

yes, but get the green light from your own eyedoctor first, even get a referral from him with details of your problem and then they would know exactly what and where!!
