Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery
- Laser eye surgery is a very fast procedure and the results are quick too. Most patients can eliminate the need for contacts or glasses almost immediately. The vision can continue to improve for another six months, but most of the improvement is seen following the procedure.
- Not having the need for glasses or contacts can be one of the most exciting benefits of laser eye surgery. Not to be concerned about losing a contact or breaking glasses can be a relief. And some find they can see better after the eye surgery.
- Some may feel self conscious when wearing glasses and even those with contacts feel that people know they are wearing them by their constant blinking. Most individuals feel more self confident after shedding their glasses or contacts. They can usually see better and this helps in social and professional situations.
- People who wear glasses or contact lenses will sometimes limit certain activities because of their eyesight. Those who like to swim are limited because of their eyewear. After laser eye surgery, they no longer have to avoid enjoying a day at the beach or the pool, as they no longer have to worry about eyewear.
- Some careers require perfect vision without the aid of glasses or contacts. Careers in aviation, the military or law enforcement have been known to have these requirements. Laser eye surgery opens up new job opportunities for those seeking employment in these fields.
- Laser eye surgery is generally painless and enhancements are rare but sometimes needed. Even so, the improvements last for years and the freedom from corrective eyewear can be empowering.
