LASIK Can Transform Your Life

If you have endured a lifetime of vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, then you are well aware of the daily hassles your condition creates. It can become very frustrating to have to deal with contact lenses or glasses each and every day. If you would like to put the hassles of glasses and contacts behind you once and for all, then LASIK surgery may be the ideal option for you.

LASIK is a surgical procedure that uses an excimer laser to reshape your cornea. Your LASIK surgeon will create a flap in your cornea and then use the laser to reshape any irregularities present so that light can focus properly on the retina. It is very safe, and it boasts one of the highest success rates of any surgical procedure.

The most obvious and important benefit of LASIK is improved vision. The vast majority of LASIK patients achieve vision of 20/40 or better, and many enjoy 20/20 vision following their procedure. As a result, you will most likely not need glasses or contacts after surgery.

This freedom from your dependence on corrective eyewear can dramatically transform your life. You can say goodbye to the days of accidentally falling asleep with your contacts in, only to wake up and find them dried out and uncomfortable. Furthermore, you will find it much easier to participate in your favorite athletic activities without the need for glasses or contacts. If you regularly wear prescription sunglasses, then you will rid yourself of the need to switch between sunglasses and eyeglasses every time you go from outdoors to indoors.

However, there is one more important benefit which you will feel for many years to come. Since the results of LASIK are permanent, you will eliminate many expenses associated with glasses and contacts, including:

• Regular appointments to update your prescription
  
• Regular replacements for glasses as your prescription changes
  
• Contact lenses and contact lens solutions
  

While LASIK is certainly not cheap, it makes smart financial sense in the long run. Once you calculate the amount of money you are spending each year in association with glasses and contacts, you will discover that LASIK represents a major savings over the rest of your life.
