LASIK eye surgery offers you freedom; freedom from glasses and contacts, and the freedom to explore the world with clarity. It’s a permanent solution to the restrictions poor vision has placed on your life. With almost immediate results, it’s quick, pain-free, and ultimately worth every penny.
LASIK offers advantages that may never have crossed your mind, such as reduced allergy symptoms. Many people say having LASIK has reduced their allergy symptoms and that they suffer from fewer headaches due to less sinus pain without their glasses sitting on their nose. For contact lens wearers, touching their eyes every day means they no longer deal with irritation and redness that may occur with contacts.
For people with astigmatism, LASIK often provides a better quality of vision after surgery than before with glasses and contacts. LASIK surgeons can reshape the cornea to correct the way light enters the back of the eye. It’s a permanent solution for clear eyesight.
Clear vision allows you to take hold of opportunities that glasses and contacts may have restricted you from doing. For example, certain branches of the military require a standard level of sight to fill specific positions. LASIK can correct your vision and free you from the constant upkeep of glasses or contacts.
It’s not just certain branches of the military that glasses and contacts may have prevented you from participating in; it’s also active careers and lifestyles. Imagine going for a swim without worrying about losing a contact, playing sports without worrying about your glasses falling off, or making travel plans without having to account for glasses or contacts. No longer having this worry will alleviate some of the stress from your busy life.
Waking up tomorrow and not struggling to find your glasses just to see the alarm clock may sound like a fairytale, but LASIK can make it a reality. For more information, check out our website.
