Lasik eye surgery improves vision by reshaping the clear, outer layer of the eye called the cornea. And the technology uses a laser to precisely reshape the cornea. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the technology in 1999 and soon it became one of the most popular elective surgeries for vision correction in India.

Here’re 5 reasons for people choosing Lasik

1: No Contact Lens Risks

Lasik surgery removes the need for wearing contacts. Also, contacts aren’t safe for your eyes. They cause an infection like itching, redness, and watery eyes. It is found that over 99% of contact lens users practice risky habits that increase the risk of serious eye infections. But there is little to fear about contacts post-Lasik treatment. You will be able to see clearly post-surgery.

2: Clearer, Better Vision

If you ask a Lasik eye surgeon about the vision improvement post-surgery, the surgeon will assure you about clearer and better vision. Depending on your overall health, especially eye health, you could achieve up to 80% improvement in your vision. You will be able to drive at night, read newspapers without straining your eyes, and play sports.

3: Permanent Vision Improvement

The changes made to the cornea are permanent hence the results achieved are also long-term. It means that you will visit your eye surgeon only during routine eye checkups or for problems other than vision. Permanent vision improvement is the biggest benefit of Lasik treatment.

4: Convenience

Lasik eye surgery requires only 10-15 minutes per eye and it is possible to operate on both eyes on the same day. The highly precise surgical procedure is carried out under sterile conditions. You will be given local anesthesia to numb your eyes. An eye spectrum is also used to prevent the eye from blinking. Also, the laser is programmed and calibrated to achieve desired results.

5: Cost Savings

Lasik treatment costs much less than others. It saves cost and the cost savings increases as you don’t have to invest in contacts and prescription glasses. Also, you save time lost in regular eye exams. A short treatment and a small investment can save you time and money in the long run.

Final Thoughts

If you are having a vision problem or want to remove your prescription glasses then you should see a Lasik eye surgeon and get the surgery at the earliest. It will give you quick and desired results within a short time.
