LASIK can absolutely correct astigmatism.

Source: Had LASIK in 1999. Severe myopia and astigmatism, corrected to 20/10 and 20/15 (right and left eye).

My night vision was definitely worse after the surgery, but improved over a year or two. I still get blurry when my eyes are dry and tired, but otherwise remain glasses-free at 50+.

That's when I had my eyes done but not for astigmatism. Have you noticed your eyes getting drier lately? Mine started a couple of years ago and it's somewhat of an issue now having to keep drops around.
