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
We measure topography + tomography + posterior segment before recommending a technique. Same prescription, different cause = different treatment.
Post-keratoplasty astigmatism often needs Femtosecond LRI. Few centers in the region have the equipment.
If you've had a corneal transplant, your astigmatism management requires a cornea-trained surgeon — Dr. Shaarawy handles 200+ post-keratoplasty cases per year.

| Procedure | Best for | From (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| LRI (Limbal Relaxing Incisions) | Routine astigmatism, cataract patients | $300 – $600 |

| Selective suture removal (post-PKP/DALK) | Astigmatism after a corneal transplant | $200 – $400 |
Common questions
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.
