No surgery is required. Glasses, contact lenses are the most common treatments. Optional treatment, if indicated, would be lasik.
There are several surgical options to treat astigmatism like LASIK, intraocuular lens implant, PRK, and EVO ICL. To determine the best procedure you are a candidate for it's best to consult with your eye doctor and they should be able to go over options and refer you to a qualifed eye surgeon who can give you the results you are seeking.
