Some of the most common benefits of LASIK include:
- Enjoy an active lifestyle without worrying about losing a contact or breaking your eyeglasses
- Freedom from glasses and contacts from the start to the end of the day
- Save money; the lifetime cost of contact lenses is more expensive than a one-time LASIK procedure.
- Avoid potentially dangerous health risks of long-term contact lens wear, such as eye infections
- Save time; do not deal with ordering contacts, solutions, glasses anymore
Everyone’s eyes are different, and the benefits of LASIK eye surgery may vary per patient.
The LASIK experience itself is quick and convenient. Treatment is virtually painless and lasts mere minutes. Minimal recovery is required, and in some cases, vision improves almost immediately after surgery.
Most people who have LASIK achieve 20/20 vision and more than 95% are happy with the results.
