If you have quite a bit of astigmatism, I hope you’ll reconsider Smile. I’m not saying refractive surgery is completely not recommended, but if you have astigmatism and it isn’t fully corrected, your perceived vision can be much lower than expected. In my case, especially, I can only distinguish people clearly when they come close. But when I actually measure my vision, it still comes out to 0.7. That’s the problem.
