LASIK Vs. Glasses And Contact Lenses

More than half of the population is seen wearing glasses or contact lenses to deal with vision problems. In fact, even tiny toddlers are seen to experience vision loss, for which they have to wear eye glasses at such a young age! And, by the time these children reach their teenage, they are tired of their glasses and lenses. They want to get rid of them at the earliest. Understanding this problem, medical science had come up with an amazing solution a few years back, which is effectively running even today; and that is LASIK surgery.

While people were scared to undergo such a surgery on their eyes as they were not sure about the results, today it has become a very popular procedure being followed for age groups from teenagers to the elderly. Almost every second person having vision problems undergoes this surgery to get rid of their glasses and lenses. It is a quick and safe procedure that brings amazing results. One can live a completely free and easy lifestyle after this surgery, obviously with certain strict care to be taken for the first few weeks after the procedure.

LASIK surgery has been seen to provide patients years and years of freedom from eye correcting devices. While some don’t need such helping devices for 10 years, there are others who don’t need them at all in the future! So, while LASIK can’t promise that you will never need glasses or lenses again, but yes, it for sure brings long years of freedom! Along with the freedom you experience, you also have to worry less about carrying along your glasses/lenses and their cases wherever you go; making sure to not forget them anywhere; and their maintenance issue, and much more. All of this reduces the efforts and costs involved.

We know it’s difficult for you to enjoy outdoor sports with your glasses on. They may keep falling off or cause you discomfort. Even if you wear contact lenses, they may cause you irritation with exposure to the sun and dirt. LASIK provides you freedom from all of this too, letting you enjoy your sports just like you never had any vision problems. This surgery therefore proves to be a boon for outdoor sports lovers.

LASIK can treat all kinds of vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. So, if you are suffering from any of these, you could think of opting for LASIK. However, it is always better to get in touch with an eye specialist hospital first to check if your eyes are fit for the surgery. After all, every individual is unique. You must have your eyes checked for any other issues or irritations that could probably be caused after LASIK. If there is any indication, the doctor will keep you away from the surgery, at least until he solves the problem first.

If your doctor confirms you to be fit for the procedure, and y ou have made up your mind to undergo one, make sure you get operated by a professional and reputed doctor to make sure your eyes are in safe hands. For the safest and most effect lasik eye surgery in Mumbai, there can be no one better than Arohi Eye Hospital, one of the most reputed names in the eye care segment.
