\n- The cornea<\/li>\n

Corneal astigmatism is the significant component of ocular astigmatism. The radii of curvature of the cornea of an astigmatic eye does not have the same power on all the meridians. The light rays that pass through an astigmatic eye focus in two main lines that are not on the same plane, distorting the image.<\/p>\n
Because of this anomaly, the visual blur the patient sees depends on the orientation of the targets they observe. Astigmatism is rarely isolated (18% of cases). Myopia<\/a> or hyperopia<\/a> often presents with astigmatism, which we call myopic or hypermetropic astigmatism, or mixed astigmatism, depending on the situation.<\/p>\nAstigmatism affects more than a quarter of the population. If you have astigmatism over 40, we can treat it.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Emmetropia, ametropia, and refraction<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>The emmetropic eye enjoys normal vision without optical correction: it is an eye whose anatomical qualities allow the image of a fixed object to form directly on the retina.<\/p>\n
Only 14% of the French are emmetropic. An eye whose anatomical qualities are non-compliant is called ametropic. The image of an object does not form on the retina.<\/p>\n
The different ametropia are myopia<\/a>, hyperopia<\/a> and astigmatism. The refractive power of the eye determines their importance. Refractive power is the nature and power of the optical correction that allows the image of an object to form on the retina of an ametropic eye.<\/p>\nThe analysis of your vision that we measure in tenths and your optical correction that we measure in diopters, negative for myopic ametropia and positive for hypermetropic ametropia, is called refraction.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Astigmatism examination at Clinique de la Vision<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>A preoperative assessment is essential in refractive surgery.<\/p>\n
It allows your surgeon to choose the most appropriate surgical technique for you (which may be PRK<\/a>, LASIK<\/a>, PRESBYLASIK<\/a> or implants<\/a>) and to check the absence of contraindications.<\/p>\nIndeed, even if refractive surgery corrects visual defects (myopia<\/a>, hyperopia<\/a>, astigmatism and presbyopia<\/a>), compliance with the contraindications avoids post-operative complications.<\/p>\nThe quality of the preoperative indication determines the quality of the result.<\/p>\n
This consultation also helps to answer the patient\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n
At Clinique de la Vision, for example, a preoperative consultation includes:<\/p>\n
\n- Measurement of ametropia (visual defect) to be corrected by refraction analysis<\/li>\n
- The verification of the \u201cdominant\u201d eye (or \u201cdirector\u201d) essential when correcting symptoms of presbyopia<\/a><\/li>\n
- The complete ophthalmic assessment with measurement of the intraocular pressure, examination of the fundus and especially the analysis of the transparency of the lens<\/li>\n
- The analysis of corneal morphology (curvature, shape, thickness) thanks to corneal topography eliminates the contraindications to laser surgery and to choose the most appropriate surgical technique for the patient<\/li>\n
- Aberrometric examination analysis of the optical quality of the eye<\/li>\n
- We calculate the implant if we\u2019re considering lens surgery<\/li>\n
- Other explorations can be done depending on the context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is only at the end of this assessment that a surgeon makes a recommendation. They can then choose the most suitable refractive surgery technique for you.<\/p>\n
Finally, the surgeon must clearly explain the advantages, the possible undesirable effects and the expected results of their recommended procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Doing so makes the eye emmetropic by converging light beams no longer in two focal lines but at one point.<\/p>\n
