  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ASTIGMATISM USING MULTIPLE PAIRED ARCUATE LASER GENERATED CORNEAL INCISIONS
    Publication number: 20200170840
    Abstract: A method for the reduction or elimination of astigmatism in an eye that includes an astigmatism axis, the method including determining an astigmatism axis of an eye and forming a first set of incisions in a cornea of the eye that are bisected by the astigmatism axis. The method including forming a second set of incisions in the cornea that are bisected by the astigmatism axis, wherein the first set of incisions and the second set of incisions reduce or eliminate astigmatism in the eye.
