The LASIK® procedure has one very obvious benefit: It is designed to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism to the extent that patients possibly no longer require glasses or contacts to see clearly. However, we’ve found that improved vision is just the beginning when it comes to the upside of LASIK.

Here are four more advantages that go hand-in-hand with the ability to see clearly without glasses or contacts:

1. Saving Money in the Long Run

There is an initial investment involved in the LASIK procedure. Click here to learn about financing. However, when you consider how much you would otherwise be spending on lenses, frames, contacts and solutions, you can actually save money on a long-term basis.

2. Enhanced Lifestyle

This is one is huge. Some people simply don’t like the way they look in glasses, and LASIK can offer freedom from that necessity. It also allows you to wear over-the-counter sunglasses, with no more need for clip-on shades or prescription sunglasses. Plus, you won’t have to worry about fumbling for your glasses first thing in the morning or if you have to get up in the middle of the night for an emergency.

3. Recreational Freedom

Glasses and, to some extent, contacts can be a hindrance to those who enjoy sports and recreational activities, especially water-based ones like swimming or surfing. LASIK can mean no more prescription goggles, lost contacts or simply having to play with blurred vision.

4. Fewer Allergy Symptoms

If you’re accustomed to wearing contacts, you know the importance of keeping your hands clean. Sometimes, you might even touch your eye when putting your lenses in, taking them out and adjusting them. And the more you do so, the more you run the risk of transferring pollen to your eyes or any other substance that can cause a negative reaction.

Ever since he was a child, Nicholas Mencer wore glasses and contacts. “Mostly, I wore contacts and they were a hassle, dealing with all the little things,” he explains. “And I didn’t wear glasses much unless it was at the last minute or my eyes were dry or I couldn’t get my contacts in. The constant maintenance was getting old.”

When Nicholas finally made the decision to get LASIK, it was an easy choice of where he would get the procedure done. He states  that everyone involved, from the receptionist, all the way to Drs. Campbell and Cunningham,  everyone treated him with respect and kindness. “It was so great I even thought about going into Ophthalmology for a short time,” Nicholas admits.

“Hands down the best money I’ve ever spent. I couldn’t have asked for a better result.”
