What is LASIK?

LASIK literally stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. It is by far the most popular type of refractive surgery made for correcting issues effecting the eyes such as myopia (short sightedness), hyperopia (long sightedness) and astigmatism. Performed by using a safe laser by your ophthalmologist, this procedure is similar to others such as photorefractive keratectomy or PRK.

Reasons to Have LASIK Eye Surgery:

  • Independence and confidence

  • Freedom and mobility

  • No more discomfort from glasses or contact lenses

  • No more restrictions from eyeglasses or contacts when at work or during leisure activities

  • Zero maintenance or upkeep

If you have not considered LASIK before, it is about time you start. LASIK is the perfect way to reduce your dependence on contact lenses and glasses. It will allow you to more and freely pursue the hobbies, sports activities and career options you want without any setbacks.

Sports Enthusiasts : Whether you are just in it for fun, or you have your sights set on stardom, contact lenses and glasses can get in the way of just about any sporting activity. With LASIK, you no longer have to worry about it.

Mothers of Young Children : Give yourself some much-needed peace of mind. If you're always worried about your children loosing their expensive prescription glasses or not putting in / taking out their contacts correctly or, worse yet, loosing their contacts, LASIK will help eliminate those worries and problems.

Travelers : No matter how adept you are at traveling, there is always a risk of loosing your glasses or contacts, especially if you spend a lot of time on the road and staying at hotels. LASIK eliminates this worry and allows you to travel freely. Of course, we can't guarantee your luggage!

You see, LASIK is more than just a corrective eye surgery, it is an improvement on your over all lifestyle. The fact of the matter is that contacts and glasses are restrictive and the only real way to get clarity of sight without all the responsibility and hindrance of eye accessories is to go with LASIK.
