Who usually decides to undergo a laser vision correction surgery?

It is currently estimated that already more than 50% of Poles complain of vision defects. An ever increasing number of people have to wear glasses or contact lenses. However, some of them find such a solution unsatisfactory. What may help them is laser vision correction – a procedure which is not only short and simple but also completely safe.

Laser vision correction is becoming a more and more popular alternative to wearing glasses or contact lenses. What is particularly encouraging to take this decision is the safety of the procedure and a short convalescence period afterwards. Another decision-making factor is undoubtedly the fact that it is possible to permanently get rid of uncomfortable corrective glasses or lenses in one day.

An observation of the ArtLife patients revealed that over half of those who decide to have a laser vision correction surgery are men. Why do they undergo the procedure more often than women? To a large extent it may result from the choice of career they make, their passions and activities they are involved in. Some people simply regard laser vision correction as a solution which enables them to do their job. This applies to members of the uniformed services, pilots or drivers, who need to meet strict health criteria. In such professions any vision defects may thwart their dreams of a chosen profession. To them a possibility to get rid of a vision defect means regaining their dreams, getting a job and having a fulfilling career.

Sports people constitute a similar group, many of them not being able to wear glasses because of the discipline they practise. Laser vision correction is a very popular solution among them. Additionally, due to fast corneal regeneration and leading-edge surgical methods, it does not take long to return to all everyday activities after the procedure. Nevertheless, the surgery is sometimes believed to be able to permanently prevent a person from doing sports. Nothing could be further from the truth! Laser vision correction offers new opportunities for achieving more sports goals!

It also helps those who suffer from compound astigmatism, which is difficult to correct with glasses or lenses. Laser vision correction is currently the most effective treatment method for astigmatism. Therefore, a large group of patients are people with a significant difference in visual acuity between the left and right eye, often accompanied by strabismus. Performing laser vision correction on one or both eyes allows to override this difference, bringing visual acuity in both eyes to the same level, and consequently stabilising the eyes’ position.

In case of other patients a decisive factor in a decision to make a doctor’s appointment in the ArtLife Ophthalmologic Centre is not medical indications but simply a willingness to improve life quality. It is not surprising at all considering the fact that this modern alternative to glasses and contact lenses guarantees a much greater feeling of comfort and freedom. Everyone must undoubtedly admit that good eyesight improves life quality. We all dream of having perfect visual acuity as long as possible. However, if for one reason or another it is not meant for some of us – it is worth thinking about having a laser vision correction surgery and get rid of a vision defect in one day by choosing the one-day procedure option.
