I was wondering if you can have a result of regular astigmatism and irregular in the same eye. My right eye has been having trouble with astigmatism from day one post Lasik. I am now 7 weeks post op. I got glasses a week ago with the astigmatism correction in and now the blurry vision is gone and I see very well. I am still seeing halos/starbursts at night. Is this normal?
The fact that glasses fix our vision is a good sign that irregular astigmatism is not a significant problem for you. Of course, topography will pick up any irregular astigmatism.
As well, the night time problems will often improve with time. Often the glasses will help improve/resolve these night time problems
Best of luck
