Astigmatism correction tailored to its cause — not just its prescription.
Routine astigmatism is corrected by LASIK / SMILE or a Toric ICL. Astigmatism after cataract surgery uses a Toric IOL or LRI relaxing incisions. Post-keratoplasty astigmatism (after a corneal transplant) needs a different approach again — selective suture removal, Femtosecond LRI, or a small bite suture adjustment. The right technique depends on the cause.
Why choose us
International standard. Regional access.
Cause-first diagnosis
We measure topography + tomography + posterior segment before recommending a technique. Same prescription, different cause = different treatment.
Femtosecond LRI for precision cases
Post-keratoplasty astigmatism often needs Femtosecond LRI. Few centers in the region have the equipment.
Cornea sub-specialist matters
If you've had a corneal transplant, your astigmatism management requires a cornea-trained surgeon — Dr. Shaarawy handles 200+ post-keratoplasty cases per year.
Toric IOLs from leading manufacturers
Alcon, J&J, Zeiss toric platforms imported with full traceability.
Procedures & pricing
Transparent USD pricing.
Final cost is set after clinical examination. Local-currency equivalents available on request. Insurance reports issued for international patients.
| Procedure | Best for | From (USD) |

| LRI (Limbal Relaxing Incisions) | Routine astigmatism, cataract patients | $300 – $600 |
| Femtosecond LRI | Higher precision; post-keratoplasty cases | $600 – $1,000 |
| Toric IOL (with cataract) | Permanent built-in correction | $900 – $1,400 |

Common questions
Frequently asked.
Can astigmatism return after correction?
I had a corneal transplant — what are my options?
Is LRI permanent?
Send your topography. We'll plan the right correction.
Astigmatism management is highly individual — the right technique depends on the cause, the magnitude, and any prior surgery. Send your most recent topography and we'll respond within 24 hours.
