Enjoy these 5 Benefits with LASIK Laser Eye Surgery 

Struggling with poor eyesight can be very frustrating and interfere with how well you are able to do simple tasks, whether at home, at work, or even during leisure activities. Vision correction surgery brings your world back into sharp focus, and eliminates the need for corrective eyewear. If trading in your glasses or contact lenses for a more permeant vision correction solution sounds too good to be true – it’s not! Not only can LASIK laser eye surgery provide perfectly clear vision, but it also has many other advantages as well.   

1. Carefree Vision Correction 

Though vision correction can be accomplished with glasses or contacts, LASIK provides a solution you don’t have to give a second thought to. After LASIK, you can wake up every morning able to see clearly and simply go about your day. Plus, you won’t need to worry about keeping your vision prescription updated, replacing broken or lost glasses, or ordering new contacts. With LASIK, seeing clearly is as easy and natural as opening your eyes.   

2. Confidence Boost 

Some people find that wearing glasses does not fit with the image they would like to project to the world. Others struggle with contact lenses causing their eyes to be drier, irritated, or appear red throughout the day. In these situations, switching to the carefree vision correction achieved through LASIK can be a real confidence booster. In fact, many patients report experiencing an immediate boost in their self-confidence after LASIK and enjoy the added comfort and confidence the treatment provides. 

3. Fast, Easy Recovery 

LASIK eye surgery is one of the safest vision correction procedures available today. This fast and effective surgery utilizes some of the most advanced laser technology, making LASIK as minimally invasive as possible and completely blade free. Many patients begin to see vision correction results the very same day as your surgery. You may even resume most of your normal daily activities, as soon as two days after surgery. Following all your eye doctors post-LASIK care instructions will put you on the fast track to an easy recovery and better vision.  

4. Long-term Cost Savings 

LASIK surgery has never been more effective and more affordable. When you consider all of the money saved on contacts, glasses, prescription sunglasses, etc., year after year, you may find that you will come out ahead in the long run. There are plenty of easy financing options available, and vision correction surgery is an approved use of Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.  

5. Permanent Results  

LASIK provides permanent results, correcting the most common refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Many patients enjoy the benefits of LASIK for 10-20 years or more!
