LASIK is a procedure to reduce your dependence on spectacles
and contact lenses.
Even though perfect vision cannot be guaranteed, many patients
have excellent vision after surgery. If you participate in
sport activities such as wind surfing, diving, surfing, triathlons,
you will appreciate the ability to be free of spectacles and
contact lenses.
If you are a fireman or work in an environment with high
heat and humidity, LASIK gives you an obvious advantage when
spectacles and contact lenses are unsuitable in such harsh
conditions.
One of the most common reasons patients choose LASIK surgery
is the inability to wear and tolerate contact lenses. Even
though they enjoy freedom from spectacles, many contact lens
wearers develop dry eyes and allergies after some years. LASIK
also free patients from the need of constantly clean and buy
contact lenses. Poor hygiene with contact lens wear is more
dangerous than LASIK surgery as the risk is recurrent, like
playing “Russian Roulette”.
If you expect LASIK to guarantee perfect or better than perfect
vision, you may be disappointed. Instead, understand that
LASIK is a procedure that greatly improves your vision and
allows you to participate in many activities without the need
for contact lenses and glasses.
LASIK is not a competition to see if you can do all activities
without spectacles. You may need contact lenses and glasses
for some activities, but you will no longer suffer from the
poor vision prior to LASIK.
