North York residents interested in LASIK for astigmatism cost are tired of wearing glasses or contacts and want a permanent solution. We know having astigmatism makes even simple things harder and waking up with clear vision is a dream come true. At SeeRite Eye Clinic we help patients prepare for and recover from vision correction surgery by giving them the care they need before and after surgery.
The cost of LASIK for astigmatism varies depending on how bad your astigmatism is, which surgical method is right for your eyes and what tools the surgeon uses. Prices differ but many patients think the long term benefits are worth the initial cost. When you add up the cost of glasses, contacts and solutions over the years LASIK makes sense. You can’t put a price on the freedom and confidence that comes with being able to see clearly.
Before someone can have LASIK they need to go through a full evaluation to see if they are a good candidate. This is when our pre- and post-op LASIK and cataract treatment services are most important. We do thorough tests to verify the shape of your cornea, the health of your eyes, the stability of your prescription and any conditions that could compromise the results of surgery.
Astigmatism happens when your cornea isn’t shaped right. LASIK fixes your vision by changing the shape of your cornea. But not everyone with astigmatism can have the treatment and we’ll tell you the truth about whether or not surgery is right for you. If you decide to go ahead with LASIK we work with experienced doctors to make sure your care is thorough and coordinated. We see you for follow up visits after surgery to check on your healing, answer any questions you may have and make sure your vision is improving as expected. It’s a lot less stressful to have people you know help you through recovery and we’re always here to answer questions or help with any problems that arise.
Many of the patients that come to see us aren’t ready for surgery yet. They just want to take care of their eyes and catch any problems early. The best way to keep your vision healthy is to get a full eye exam on a regular basis. We check your prescription, look at the health of your eyes and look for conditions that could harm your vision during these visits. If you have astigmatism regular checkups let us track how your vision is changing and modify your prescription as needed.

This doesn’t fix astigmatism but it shows we are committed to providing specialized care for a range of eye problems.
We take preventing eye disease very seriously because many conditions that can harm vision don’t show any symptoms. We check for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and other conditions during your visits. Finding these problems early on makes treatment easier and helps you keep your vision.
Eye problems don’t usually happen during work hours so we’re here to help with eye emergencies and injuries. If you suddenly lose your vision, have extreme eye pain or hurt your eye getting help right away can prevent further damage.
We also talk to our patients about nutrition because what you eat can affect your eye health. Some vitamins and minerals help your eyes work better and may reduce your risk of age related visual impairments. We’re happy to recommend dietary changes or supplements that can help you. Many people have dry eyes and we have good dry eye treatment. It’s especially important to take care of dry eyes before LASIK because they can affect whether or not you can have the surgery and how comfortable you are during recovery. We figure out what’s making you sick and then develop a treatment plan for you.
