Here are 5 Reasons LASIK Will Change Your Life

July 28, 2023

Do you wake up wishing you had better vision? Are you tired of glasses that get scratched or contact lenses that get too dry at the worst possible time?

If you've worn prescription glasses or contact lenses for years, it could be time for a change! With LASIK, you get crisp, clear eyesight that could change your life and everything you see around you.

LASIK is a procedure used to correct refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the LASIK procedure, a femtosecond laser is used to make a small incision in the cornea.

Then an excimer laser reshapes the cornea, correcting your refractive errors and providing you with crisp, clear vision. Are you wondering if LASIK is right for you? Keep reading to learn about 5 reasons LASIK will change your life!

1. LASIK Will Give You Better Vision

One of the most significant ways that LASIK will change your life is by giving you clearer vision that’s better than what you had with visual aids. LASIK corrects your vision far beyond your original prescription.

Whether you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, LASIK can correct your refractive errors. In turn, you’ll end up with crisp, clear vision that’s better than what you had before LASIK!

Maryland Vision Institute uses the most advanced surgical lasers and equipment to reshape your corneas, allowing your eye to focus correctly. Undergoing LASIK is a quick procedure that only takes a few minutes per eye.

Once you enhance your vision thanks to LASIK, you may find you are the envy of your friends and family. Your newly found independence from visual aids will be the talk of your next summertime cookout or family reunion!

2. LASIK Will Save You Money

Have you been dreaming about buying your first home or finding a bigger house with enough space for everyone in your family? Or have you been eyeing an energy-saving EV or a fishing boat for weekends on your local lake?

When you opt for LASIK vision correction, you may find that it's suddenly easier to afford some of life's luxuries! Unlike the recurring costs incurred by prescription glasses or contact lenses, correcting your vision with LASIK is a one-time expense.

If you're nervous about the costs of LASIK, you can also look into affordable financing options with monthly payments. There's no reason why having LASIK should break the bank!

Getting LASIK can also mean saving money as well. Think about it: you can eliminate monthly eye care expenses from your budget by correcting your vision.

Better yet, if you contribute to an FSA, you can use some of these tax-free funds to cover some, if not all, of your life-changing LASIK procedure.

3. LASIK Will Save You Time

When you begin to calculate all the time you spend dealing with your contact lenses, it quickly adds up! How many minutes of your day is taken up by putting in your contact lenses in the morning and then taking them out again in the evening?

Don't forget about the time you take to disinfect your contact lenses to make them safe to wear too! Once you have LASIK, you can look forward to more relaxation and less rushing in the mornings.

You can be ready for that exciting last-minute travel opportunity in a flash when you don't have to think about packing a spare pair of glasses or an extra set of contact lenses to ensure you can see. Instead, after you have LASIK, you only need to open your eyes to see the incredible world around you. What could be more life-changing than that?

4. LASIK Will Let You Enjoy Life More

With clear, crisp vision following LASIK, you can enjoy life more and stop worrying about your prescription glasses or contact lenses. Imagine having rooftop cocktails with friends and enjoying an Instagram-worthy sunset without wearing a cumbersome pair of glasses.

Patients who have LASIK don't have to worry about long, burdensome recovery times. That means you can return to what you love within a day or two of the vision correction procedure!

LASIK has one of the fastest recovery periods of all vision-correcting options available, making it easy to see why it's so popular. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, they can sometimes hold you back from enjoying all life offers.

With LASIK, you can take in a sunset, hike up your favorite peak, or catch that perfect wave without worrying about seeing clearly. Why not do what you love and do it with the best vision of your life?

5. LASIK Will Free You from Glasses and Contact Lenses

While visual aids certainly help you see clearly, many small annoyances come with prescription glasses and contact lenses. Whether you constantly try to remember where you last saw your glasses, have a morning where your contact lenses won't go in or are running late, there's no doubt that visual aids can be a headache.

LASIK frees you from the hassles of dealing with visual aids. LASIK surgery has an impressive 96% success rate and equally high patient satisfaction rates.
