Radial astigmatism is a type of astigmatism that occurs when the cornea has an irregular shape. This can cause light to focus on multiple points in the eye, resulting in blurred or distorted vision. Unlike other types of astigmatism, radial astigmatism involves a steeper curvature in one meridian of the cornea, which can cause vision problems at specific angles.
Radial astigmatism can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, eye injuries, and previous eye surgeries. Common symptoms of radial astigmatism include blurry or distorted vision, headaches, and eye strain. These symptoms can be exacerbated by bright lights or prolonged use of digital screens.
To diagnose radial astigmatism, your eye doctor will perform a comprehensive eye exam that includes a visual acuity test, refraction test, and corneal topography. This will allow them to determine the extent and severity of your astigmatism and develop a customized treatment plan.
Treatment options for radial astigmatism include eyeglasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery. Your eye doctor will recommend the best option based on the severity of your astigmatism and your lifestyle needs. Refractive surgery, such as LASIK, can be an effective long-term solution for radial astigmatism, but it is not recommended for everyone.
Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.

This is the best eye clinic ever. It's amazing how every staff is so caring. The faculty is simply top class and Dr. Aditya Raut is the best. His treatment is par excellence, but even more than more than that, he is a great human being.
