Can You Get Laser Eye Surgery if You Have Astigmatism AND Nastagmuss?
May 18th, 2010 | See the Top Answers to this Question Below
My daughter has both astigmatism and nastagmuss, although knowing laser eye treatment won’t help her nastagmuss it would her vision. I have read that yoyou can have laser treatment for astigmatism but don’t know if having the other eye condition will hamper this or not.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, there are methods that can do it. An excimer laser with an active tracking system can be used, or the eyes can be fixated with a fixation ring during the laser ablation. An evaluation by a competent refractive surgeon can determine if a person with nystagmus is a viable candidate for any type of refractive surgery.
I think not.
Imagine her eye moving during cutting a corneal flap or during the laser!
