Say Goodbye to Glasses and Contacts

October 11, 2017

Glasses and contacts are certainly effective ways to correct vision problems and have been for a long time. However, anyone who has worn them for an extended length of time can tell you that they can be cumbersome, from slippage or breakage of glasses to the hassle of cleaning contacts daily and constantly replacing them. It used to be that there was no alternative, but now with laser eye surgery, there is.

Benefits of Laser Eye Surgery

• Laser eye surgery is non-invasive. There are no deep incisions made and most patients report little pain or discomfort following the procedure.
• Laser eye surgery is followed by quick recovery, and the results are nearly immediate. No stitches are involved and, since eyes naturally heal quickly, patients generally can return to their normal routines as early as the day after the procedure.
• Perfect vision after laser eye surgery means there’s no more need for contact lenses and eyeglasses.

LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Procedure

The laser eye surgery procedure, also known as LASIK, involves creating a flap in the cornea (the transparent tissue covering the eyes) and then using a laser to reshape it. Reshaping the cornea corrects how light is focused on the retina. After the cornea has been reshaped, the flap is put back in its place where it will seal itself and heal.

A consultation with a laser eye surgery professional, such as an ophthalmologist like Dr. Al-Ghoul, will be required to determine whether a laser eye surgery procedure will be best for your case. To book a consultation, contact Clarity Laser Vision today.
