LASIK eye surgery continues to grant freedom to those who join the 700,000 Americans who have the procedure every year. Once a patient is old enough and the eye has stopped growing, LASIK can be life changing.
For adults who live an especially active lifestyle while playing sports or regularly jet setting around the world on vacation, LASIK eye surgery is a way to minimize the need for planning and packing.
How many times have you been exhausted at the end of a trip and so ready to get home, you just toss everything you packed in your main checked luggage so you could veg out for the final leg? Now, what happens when that luggage gets lost and the airline is unable to find it for days? You are left scrambling to figure out what to do for contact lenses or other corrective eyewear.
Also, imagine being able to jump on the courts or the field spontaneously without worrying about having your corrective goggles, which can be awkward and uncomfortable at times anyway.
These are the kinds of freedoms and carefree moments LASIK allows for those with an active lifestyle who undergo the simple procedure.
Only those who have suffered through the bedtime and morning routines of hunting down glasses or handling corrective lenses can truly appreciate what it is like to no longer be weighed down by these burdens.
Patients who undergo LASIK eye surgery are simply able to go about their days without stepping on dried up daily disposables around the bedroom and bathroom. They also now avoid tripping over whatever a child or roommate left on the floor while blurringly searching for glasses in order to see the text on a phone.
Finally, consider how much money you have spent on frames, lenses, and contacts over the years. Imagine what you could do with those dollars if you were able put them toward something else!
Having concerns about any procedure is completely understandable. However, it is good to know that LASIK surgery works. LASIK is proven to be effective for correcting vision in patients who make the decision to move forward with the safe and common procedure. Read more about how laser eye correction is right for you.
