Astigmatism can have a significant impact on everyday life, particularly for younger patients balancing education, work, driving and social activities. Blurred vision, eye strain and difficulty focusing can affect confidence and overall quality of life, especially when glasses or contact lenses become frustrating to manage. In this procedure, Dr Fadi Kherdaji performs advanced LASIK laser eye surgery for Charlie, guiding him through the treatment process and demonstrating how modern refractive surgery can reshape the cornea to improve visual clarity.
This live operation video offers a real insight into what happens during LASIK surgery, from preparation and laser mapping through to the treatment itself. Using highly advanced laser technology, the procedure is designed to correct the irregular shape of the cornea that causes astigmatism, helping light focus more accurately onto the retina. Following treatment, Charlie achieved clear functional vision and can now enjoy everyday activities without relying on glasses or contact lenses.
