Why Get LASIK Surgery Now
Having to wear eyeglasses and contact lenses almost all your life can be a bothersome ordeal for many. We understand how tiring it is to fumble over your night table, searching for your glasses, or spending that extra 10 minutes in the morning trying to groggily put in your contacts. For these reasons, a lot of glasses and contact lens users consider getting LASIK eye surgery to make their lives simpler and easier.
How does LASIK Eye Surgery Work?
LASIK Eye Surgery, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a refractive eye surgery performed to correct vision, used to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This procedure reshapes the cornea to let light into the retina properly, resulting in enhanced vision.
LASIK offers a wide variety of benefits that can dramatically boost your quality of life. If you’re thinking of getting the procedure done, here are some reasons why you should push on ahead and get LASIK:
Improved Quality of Life
If you’ve lived with eyeglasses or contact lenses almost all your life, imagine just how convenient it will be to not have to wear them anymore. Not only will you save yourself so much time, you’ll also save yourself all those pokes in the eye from early-morning contact lens insertions. There’s no doubt that having better vision makes your life a ton and a half easier, so why not undergo the procedure as soon as you can?
Easy Procedure
The idea of undergoing LASIK can be scary, and it’s understandable and normal to feel that way. However, don’t let fear hinder you from getting the surgery and stop you from having a chance at 20/20 vision.
LASIK surgery is basically pain-free. The procedure itself only takes around 15 minutes to be completed—that’s right, just fifteen minutes. Oftentimes, many LASIK patients, once done with the procedure, say that the surgery was way easier than they thought it’d be and wish that they had done it sooner.
Instant Recovery
Once you undergo LASIK, you’ll gain clear sight and you’ll be able to forego eyeglasses or contact lenses immediately after the surgery. Your vision will also continue to improve and adjust in the following days. Worried about having to miss work or school because of the recovery time? Well guess what: there is no recovery time. You can go about your usual schedule directly after the surgery.
Long-Term Results
Don’t think that the eyesight you have directly after the procedure is the direct result. After getting the procedure, your eyes will continue to improve over the months and will stay that way. LASIK results are proven to be long-term and expected to be permanent, which means you can kiss your contact lenses and your glasses goodbye.
