Astigmatism Correction

My left eye is +1.25 hyperopic with .75 astigmatism.  My distance vision is 20/25.  
1.  Can the astigmatism be corrected with a couple of scleral incisions.
2.  If using the scleral incision method, is it as predictable as doing a limbal relaxing incision
3.  Will taking the astigmatism help me gain a line for distance?
Thank you for your input and I look forward to your answers
Regards,

Leave it alone.  This is a minimal amount of astigmatism.  The hyperopia is more of a problem depending on your age.
