I am scheduled for Lasik at the end of the month. I guess I am getting cold feet. I am really nervous about my level of astigmatism. My myopia is -3.75 and -4.75. My astigmatism is -3.75. According to my OD my pupils measured at 4 mm (not sure how he took this measurement) during my last exam. Is it dangerous to procede with this amount of astigamatism? Are my chances good that I will achieve at least 20/40? Will my healing period take longer because of my astigmatism? Thanks for your help!
Cynthia
P.S. The laser they are going to use on me is Technolas.

Also is PRK an option for me? Or do I have too much astigmatism? Thanks!

Dear Cynthia,
\
I too had very high astig in my left eye and to complicate matters that was also my lazy eye. I had Hperyopia, nad my astig was 6 in my left eye and a 2 in my right and I could see 20/50 in my right eye and 20/100 in my left. I had the procedure done in Oct and then 2 weeks later had another one done because they had to break down and treat my astig and then treat the farsightedness, I now have 20/25 in my right eye and 20/30 in my left and they only time I wear my glasses is to read, and they are over the counter reading glasses. I say check all your options and then make a decision it worked fro me and I couldn't be happier Hope this helps Tracy
