Correcting Your Vision In Time For Summer

For most people, the summer months are a time to enjoy the outdoors, pick up new activities, or travel. However, for people with contacts or glasses, the summer can bring about new troubles.

Traveling with contacts or prescription glasses means constantly having to worry about contact lens solutions, back-up glasses, and other eye accessories. If you're tired of dealing with these problems, LASIK vision correction may be the best option for you. With LASIK, you'll be able to go swimming, jet skiing, or rafting without worrying about losing your glasses or contact lenses.

During the LASIK procedure, a small flap is made in your corneal tissue with either a microkeratome blade or laser technology. After the flap is made, the underlying tissue is reshaped using a laser. The corneal flap is then replaced so that it can heal. Over the next few days, your vision should improve enough so that you'll never need to use glasses or contacts again.

While there are some risks associated with LASIK, for over 95% of LASIK patients, the results from the procedure provide them with 20/40 vision or better. This means no more misplacing glasses, no more taking care of contacts, and no more money spent on new prescriptions.
