There’s so many benefits to being able to see naturally. Many people
feel a new freedom to be able to simply wake up and see past the bed
sheets. You can swim and play sports much easier. Plus, you won’t have to
spend all that money for new contacts or glasses!
Some Of The Benefits Of Laser Eye Surgery Include:
- Unobstructed Vision – not having to peer around the frames of your
glasses gives you better peripheral vision.
- Self Esteem Boost – not wearing glasses makes many people feel more
confident and boosts their self esteem and quality of life.
- Easer To Play Sports – no more worrying that your glasses will break
or a contact will pop out.
- Save Money – No more purchasing contacts, solution, eyeglasses or
cases. After the initial expense of the surgery you will end up saving
money in the long run.
Corrective eye surgery is generally safe but there are certain low
risks and people that have certain conditions must not have this type of
surgery. Your doctor will explain all the risks and asses if you are a
good candidate for the surgery. At the most extreme is loss of vision, but
this is very rare and should not happen if your doctor evaluates you
properly. Other risks include developing dry eye syndrome, loss of vision
clearness or seeing permanent halos or fuzziness.
There are 3 types of surgery you will want to consider:
- LASIK or Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis is the most well
known. This surgery cuts a flap in the cornea and reshapes it by
removing tissue. It is a fast procedure with healing in a day or 2 and
immediate improvement in eyesight.
- PRK or Photo Refractive Keratectomy is the procedure that has been
around the longest. Cells are removed from the cornea to reashape it and
improve vision. It has a healing time of a month and vision improvement
is not immediate but gradual over time.
- CK or Conductive Keratoplasty is a fairly new procedure. Uses radio
frequency energy applied with a hair thin device to reshape the cornea.
It is an extremely quick procedure with very quick healing.
Your good vision is vital so discuss each option thoroughly with your
doctor before making a final decision.
