5 reasons why people with vision defects decide to undergo a laser vision correction surgery

Laser vision correction is gaining more and more popularity among all those who are suffering from vision defects. The number of such people keeps growing and it is estimated that approximately 40 million undergo the procedure in the United States and Europe each year. There are obviously other methods of vision correction, i.e. glasses and contact lenses, so why do we choose laser vision correction more and more frequently? Read on if you want to find out the answer to this question, as 5 key reasons are explained below.

1. Permanent effect

Laser vision correction allows you to get rid of your vision defect permanently. It is painless, short (the surgery of both eyes lasts only a dozen minutes, and as a result our eyes receive a new life. We no longer need to look for our glasses or put on our contact lenses after we wake up in order to improve our vision. Shortly after the surgery, we completely forget that we used to struggle with any vision defect at all.

2. Comfort in the everyday life

All those who wear glasses certainly know what it means when glasses fog up, or when you have to wear them in the rain, snow or bright sun, let alone the fact that not everyone feels safe and comfortable in glasses (especially in case of severe defects). If the defect is serious, we can always decide to wear contact lenses, but we have to remember that it also has its disadvantages. Irritated, dry eyes are a common problem among those who use contact lenses. Moreover, there are people whose allergy prevents them from choosing this option. Last but not least, not everyone likes contact lenses or is determined enough to put a foreign body into their eyes. In such situations the laser vision correction surgery is second to none other method. It allows you to feel comfortable and safe and forget all the earlier inconvenience as soon as the next day or a few days after the procedure, the length of time depending on the degree of your vision defect and the chosen method of laser correction.

3. One-time investment

At first appearance the laser vision correction procedure may seem a much bigger investment than glasses or contact lenses. However, it is true only when we compare one-time expenditures. As soon as we analyse the costs involved in buying contact lenses or new glasses on a regular basis, we realise the appearances are in fact rather deceiving. In the long run, the surgery proves far more economical, not to mention other benefits of such a solution. Laser vision correction is a one-time investment which brings permanent results.

4. Professions and passions requiring good eyesight

All enthusiasts of sports, travelling and an active lifestyle know how significantly glasses may complicate our everyday life. Some problems may be solved with contact lenses, yet even contact lenses may still prevent us from doing certain everyday activities or certain jobs. Indisputably, a vision defect of any kind may put paid to the dream of becoming a serviceperson or a pilot. If your dream career requires perfect eyesight and you have a vision defect, then laser vision correction is the only solution.

5. Safety

Laser vision correction is currently the safest kind of surgery, performed all over the world. Ever more advanced technology in this field as well as properly conducted examination qualifying for the procedure virtually rule out any risk of complications. If you still hesitate whether to undergo the surgery or not, do not wait any longer! Make an appointment for a qualifying examination or fill out the Preliminary Qualification.
