Omaha, Neb.-based Kugler Vision offers patients with astigmatism a small incision lenticule extraction procedure, according to KETV7.
Here are the key details to know:
1. The 30-minute procedure involves making a small incision and placing a permanent contact lens in the eye.
2. The contact provides focus the eye lacks naturally.
3. In the U.S., 80 percent of the population lives with astigmatism, but some patients have more extreme cases, surgeon Lance Kugler, MD, told KETV7
