Man fixing it would be my dream too, especially with masks these days.
I'm eligible for LASIK but I'm still waiting for a non invasive treatment as well. I know it is "safe" but it can go wrong and after reading some of the horror stories in forums I would _hate_ it if it goes wrong. Even smaller side effects like having dry eyes all the time and eyes hurting when there is wind sounds annoying.
Oh you can try hard contact lenses. Sadly I’ve not been able to tolerate them for some reason that my ophthalmologist cannot explain but while I was wearing them, the correction was extraordinary, because it also fixes all forms of astigmatisms.
Are hard contact lenses better than soft for astigmatism? Have you tried soft ones? I've only tried the latter and could never get used to them seeming to go out of focus or drift around whenever I blinked.
They are well better because they are 100% effective. I have tried soft ones (torics) and never been satisfied with them (still better than glasses). With the hard ones, the astigmatism basically disappears because a drop of tear forms between your eye and the lens so the optical system is composed with your eye, the tear drop, and the lens. This way, the surface of your eye have not any impact on the optical result.
