There is no "best" method for correcting vision errors. The most appropriate correction for you depends on your eyes -- and your lifestyle. Before undertaking any vision correction procedures, discuss your particular situation with your ophthalmologist or eye doctor to decide which correction will be most effective for you.
10 Very Good Reasons for Lasik Eye Surgery:
1. There is nothing as sweet as the freedom from the inconveniences and hassles of having to wear contact lenses or glasses.
2. Save money in the long run! Over the years, the costs of vision correction aids (e.g. medical check-ups, lenses, solutions and glasses) amount to thousands of dollars.
3. Save time! With your vision corrected, there will be no more spending time searching for your eyeglasses (oh, admit that always happens, ok?) or for those wearing contact lenses, the hours spent wetting, soaking, rubbing, cleaning and otherwise maintaining them.
4. You get to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock!
5. You can go swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving and be able to see wonderful underwater creatures and vistas
6. You are able to indulge in spontaneous activities like taking unplanned trips, or go camping with the kids, or be able to spend the night elsewhere if the need arises.
7. Imagine being able to take a nap whenever the mood strikes you without first having to remove your contact lenses.
8. See clearly while putting on makeup -- no more uneven eyeshadow and mascara applications here, no more squinting! The same goes for shaving.
9. Hassle-free participation in outdoor sports will be possible again without having to wear glasses that fog up or get splashed with water, rain or perspiration, no more contact lenses that dry out with the wind.
10. Most important of all, by having your vision corrected through LASIK eye surgery you will be able to avoid the negative effects of long term contact lens wear!
LASIK Eye surgery clinics should ensure that patients understand the both the benefits and potential risks of the procedure. A full understanding of the procedure (before, during and after), the better prepared one will be for the surgery. Patients should always be counseled on the potential risks and benefits of LASIK to be able to make an informed decision.
