Can LASIK help me see without eyeglasses permanently?

What is Lasik eye surgery? The laser eye surgery method is a very safe procedure to correct refractive errors that you may have in your eyes. It is done so that you no longer have to wear glasses or contact lenses. Modern technology allows your doctor to achieve a very precise correction of your problem without any special intervention to the tissues.

LASIK Preoperative Procedure

The procedure should involve a detailed eye exam, which Dr. Khosrof and his staff provide. It entails:

  • Dilated fundus exam
  • Corneal topography
  • Glaucoma testing
  • Eye microscopic exam

One of the main reasons people wear glasses and contacts in the first place is their poor vision and they want to correct it. With Lasik surgery, they can improve their vision and eliminate problems like farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea so that light can focus on the patient’s retina; therefore, there is no need for glasses or contacts anymore, because the patients are able to see much clearer.

The Purpose

Today, Lasik surgery is becoming quite popular as people seek their visual freedom for different reasons; one of which is being more socially accepted. Believe it or not, some people think that wearing glasses is a ‘nerd’ thing. While it is not, the person wearing glasses may feel like a nerd or feel it is more of a hindrance. In most instances, though, it is more about improving your vision. Compared to 2015, an estimated 834,000 individuals chose Lasik surgery for vision correction in 2021, according to the American Refractive Surgery Council. This shows that the number of people seeking this procedure is rising.

Enjoying More Festivities

If you live in Brooklyn, New York or any other city in the state, you know that there is always an event almost every weekend. So, you may be missing out on all the fun if you have vision limitations. In fact, the annual Oktober Fest at the Watermark Bar has already begun; from September 2 to October 31, 2022. By attending, you will get to enjoy the festivities of the waterfront. With Lasik surgery, and no need to wear glasses, you could clearly see the incredible views of the Brooklyn skyline and bridge. What a great visual experience that would be!
