Bill,
By "getting rid of that," do you mean /correcting/ it or /eliminating/ it.
In other words, correction can be achieved through glasses (one lens with
correction, one without) or by wearing a single contact lens.
Elimination, on the other hand, can be achieved via LASIK, PRK, or other
surgical options.
The glasses option--for such a mild amount of astigmatism--is pretty tried
and true. Cheap, too.
Are you "appreciating" that slight amount of astigmatism? Many people
wouldn't correct it at all....
Best,
Neil
