first irregular astigmatism treatment method

It is the only program in Korea to treat
the cause of irregular astigmatism.
If you're not satisfied with your vision after cataract surgery,
it's most likely due to astigmatism.
Since the current cataract examination was unable to differentiate regular
and irregular astigmatism, and accurate measurements of regular astigmatism
could not be obtained in eyes with high irregular astigmatism,
achieving good vision was not possible even after cataract surgery.
Over time, the dark brown eye becomes increasingly bumpy.
Everyone has irregular astigmatism,
but when it is outside the normal range, it affects vision.
Eyes with irregular astigmatism appear blurry,
even with a vision of 1.0.
The picture above shows letters as seen
by a person with a vision of 1.0.
On the right, where the irregular astigmatism is severe,
the ‘E’ is visible but the boundaries are blurred.
As the disease gets more severe,
vision will gradually decrease.
