astigmatism
Astigmatism, which can cause blurry vision, is a problem for millions. The condition stems from a misshapen cornea - the clear covering of the eye that focuses incoming light. EarthSky spoke to Keith Meek of Cardiff University in the U.K., who leads research on the cornea.

Meek explained that these fibers - made of collagen - are actually arranged in very distinct patterns. [---2---] He says this information could make astigmatism surgery more predictable.

Keith Meek: The first thing that I would like to be tried out in a full clinical trial is that donor corneas are oriented the correct way as they came out of the person who donated them into the recipient. [---5---]

For many years, people thought the cornea was essentially a uniform piece of tissue with fibers running in different directions throughout it.
He discovered this by shining X-rays from a particle accelerator through cornea specimens.
Over the next five years or so, now we've built up a full three-dimensional map of how the collagen is going in all the different parts of the cornea, all of that information can be fed into a computer model of the cornea.
Meek hopes this modeling can be applied to corrective vision surgery like Lasik, and also to cornea transplants.
I believe that might affect the amount of astigmatism that you would get following surgery.
Meek added that in 10 years time or more, it might even be possible to make a near-perfect artificial cornea.
