FAQ: Can LASIK fix astigmatism?

Watch this reel by Dr. Woolfson as he breaks down one of the most common questions we get.

Astigmatism simply means there’s a slight irregular shape to the surface of the eye, which causes blurred vision.

In the vast majority of cases, the answer is yes, LASIK can correct it.

There are some rare situations where it may not be fully correctable or may be related to another eye condition, but that’s exactly why a personalized evaluation matters.

If you’ve been told you have astigmatism and have been hesitant to consider LASIK because of it, we encourage you to take the next step.

Meet Dr. Kevin Jackson, cataract and refractive surgeon at our Johnson City, TN location 👁️

Dr. Jackson's path to ophthalmology started long before medical school. He began as a technician for an eye doctor, and the moment he saw firsthand the impact a surgeon could have on a patient's vision, he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life. That passion has never left him.

One of his most unforgettable patients was a non-verbal nursing home resident who had cataract surgery on both eyes. He couldn't tell the team what had changed. But his nurses could. For the first time in years, they found him in his room shaving on his own, because he could finally see himself in the mirror 🥹

That is the kind of story that reminds us all why this work matters.

Dr. Jackson is now proud to be part of a team at Woolfson Eye Institute that shares that same commitment to patients first, starting with Dr. Woolfson himself, who treats every single patient like family.

If you are in the Johnson City area and have been thinking about cataract surgery or LASIK, come meet Dr. Jackson. We would love to take care of you. 👇

Kristie took it easy and let her results do the talking!

After her blepharoplasty with Dr. Walrath, Kristie rested up, followed her post-op care, and let the healing happen. And just look at her eyes now!
She did not have an eye crease before. She has one now.

That is the power of blepharoplasty done right! The excess skin is gone, the heaviness is lifted, and that natural fold she had been missing is finally back. Kristie works alongside our surgeons every single day. She knew what was possible, and she trusted Dr. Walrath to get her there.

If you have lost your eye crease and want it back, we would love to talk!

Today is the day for Kristie!

Our very own team member is in the OR with Dr. Walrath right now, and we could not be more excited for her. Kristie sees the results of blepharoplasty every single day working alongside our surgeons. Today, she gets to experience it for herself.

Watching someone you work with trust you with their own eyes is something special. That is the Woolfson standard, and we do not take it lightly.

Stay tuned for her results!

The morning of surgery can feel like a mix of nerves and excitement, and that is completely normal. We have been right here with every single patient who has walked through our doors.

Before Kristie went into the OR, our team made sure she was comfortable, informed, and ready. At Woolfson Eye Institute, we do not just perform surgery. We walk with you through every step of the journey.

Dr. Walrath and our entire team are with you from the moment you arrive.

Before Kristie ever stepped into our OR, she had her pre-op appointment with Dr. Walrath.

Even as a member of our own Woolfson team, she went through every step of the process just like any other patient, because that is how we do things here. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

For Kristie, it all came down to her eye crease. Years of hooding and heaviness had slowly taken it away, and she was ready to get it back. Dr. Walrath walked her through exactly what was happening, what the surgery would look like, and what she could expect from her results.

Your pre-op appointment is where your questions get answered and your confidence gets built. We want you walking into surgery feeling completely ready.

We are so excited to share Kristie’s before and after blepharoplasty journey with you.

For years, Kristie felt like she had smaller eyes and found herself constantly lifting her brows to make them appear bigger. After thinking about eyelid surgery for nearly three years, she finally decided it was time to move forward.

Excited… but still a little nervous.

Follow along this week as we document her experience from consultation to surgery and recovery. Blepharoplasty can have a powerful impact on how people see themselves and how they feel.

You’ll get to see the real moments, the process, and her reaction along the way.

And trust us… wait until you see the after.

Meet Dr. Nileema Patel, M.D. 👋🏻

"It's not easy to trust someone else with something as important as your eyesight. I truly care for their well-being."

That is not something you hear every day from a doctor. But Dr. Patel means it.

She wakes up every morning, reaching for her glasses. She knows exactly what it feels like to depend on contacts and lenses just to get through the day. When you sit across from her, you are not explaining your frustration to someone who cannot relate. You are talking to someone who lives it.

And that changes everything.

At Woolfson Eye Institute, Dr. Patel does not see you as a procedure. She sees you as a person going through something vulnerable. She takes that seriously. She lets it make her better.

"Patients are exposing themselves to you at such a vulnerable time in their life. It is something I do not take lightly."

When you walk through our doors, you are walking into a team that is fully invested in your outcome. From the front desk to the exam room, everybody here is hands-on, caring, and committed to you.

You deserve a doctor who fights for your vision like it is her own. At Woolfson, that is exactly what you get.

"It's easier to get LASIK than it is to put your contact lens in and out every single day."

Natalie said that from the car. Minutes after her procedure. Still processing the fact that she could see clearly for the first time without glasses or contacts.

You do not need to suffer in contacts and glasses. No more dry eyes at the end of a long day. No more foggy lenses in the rain. No more sitting out in the pool, squinting on the field, or struggling through a workout because you can't see without them.

She wore contacts for years. She knew the routine better than anyone. And the moment she walked out of our laser room, she wanted everyone to know the truth. The thing you have been putting off out of fear? Easier than something you already do without thinking.

At Woolfson Eye Institute, we have watched thousands of patients walk in nervous and walk out free. The procedure takes minutes. Most patients are surprised by how manageable it is and how fast their life changes on the other side.

We offer CareCredit and 0% financing options because we believe freedom shouldn't have a barrier.
Stop adding up the cost of contacts and glasses every year. Invest in your freedom instead.

Your someday could be today with Woolfson!

Welcome To Woolfson Eye Institute

Woolfson Eye Institute, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Sandy Springs, GA, is one of the leading LASIK eye surgery centers in the Southeast. This is because Dr. Jonathan Woolfson, a LASIK pioneer, and his team of surgeons have performed well over 100,000 LASIK procedures. In fact, over 300 eye doctors have entrusted Dr. Woolfson with their own LASIK surgery.

Simply put, you can trust the doctor the doctors trust!

The good news? You don’t have to drive to Atlanta for LASIK surgery with Dr. Woolfson! We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Woolfson is now personally offering his LASIK expertise to residents of Johnson City. In addition to our Johnson City LASIK facility, we also have eight other LASIK practices around the Southeastern United States (including North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia).

You now have the opportunity to get LASIK from a world-class LASIK surgeon and industry pioneer like Dr. Woolfson right in your own city.
