Limbal Relaxing Surgery?
This one is for the pros. I'm a moderate presbyopic hyperope with astigmatism. I wear toric contacts and my spectacle prescription is
OS Sph. +1.00 Cyl. -2.00 Axis 104 Add 2.00
OD Sph. +2.00 Cyl. -2.25 Axis 078 Add 2.00
Laser surgery to fully correct my vision does not appear to be an option and I'm not real keen on it anyhow, but I have been reading about Limbal Release that is used only to correct astigmatism and does not involve trauma to the central portion of the cornea. Given my otherwise mild prescription, would getting rid of the astigmatism allow me to function with only reading glasses? Even if I were able to switch to spherical contacts instead of torics it seems like it would be a good thing. Is this something that might be reasonable to pursue with an Ophthalmologist? What would the typical cost of this procedure be?

Unfortunately, you really would need to be seen by the ophthamologist to be able to get good answers on this one. I would call and see what kind of a consultation is available for this and just go in and ask the same questions. The worst thing that could happen is that they would tell you no. It is just too complicated for anyone in here to answer with any sort of reliability.
