Laser eye surgery, or Lasik is an increasingly popular procedure which allows an individual to improve, sometimes significantly, the quality of their eyesight. Frequently, the procedure enables patients to eliminate the need for corrective eyewear completely.
You Will One Day Need Glasses. While there are always exceptions to this rule, the fact is that the majority of people will wear some sort of corrective eyewear at during some period of their life.
What is Lasik? The procedure is a type of refractive surgery. A surgeon will cut your eye, opening a flap in the cornea. Using a laser, the surgeon will then reshape your cornea thereby correcting vision and focusing problems in your eye.
Understand The Costs. You need to make sure that you comprehend how much glasses and the associated costs will run you, especially if it is your first time needing them.
Am I a Good Candidate for Lasik? Several factors should be considered as you move toward surgery. Your specialist should sit down with you and discuss your current corrective prescription and the target vision goals. Keep in mind that it may be completely unrealistic to move from an extreme visual deficit to 20/20 vision.
Exercise your eyes. Make sure that you stretch your eyes out every day. Just like you have to when you are going for a jog or a hike, your eyes will need to have the stretch to get started. By focusing on short distance objects and then further objects, you will be able to build your depth perception. Also, doing exercises where you move your eyes side to side can be healthy.
On the more serious side of things, the corneal flap that is created during surgery may become irritated, infected, or swell up depending on your eye's reaction to the procedure. This surgery is performed with a laser and any miscalculations or mistakes may result in under or over correction of your eye and it does run the risk of causing Astigmatism.
Insurance for vision care is important, and can be very beneficial, but it simply must be planned out and bought in the right way. Unlike regular health insurance, which tends to act as a safety net, vision insurance should be considered more carefully. Unless you don't mind throwing extra money into your insurance policy, research exactly what a vision insurance add-on would provide you with, and make sure that you would be using what it has to offer. So take some time to categorize your vision needs and figure out if you will need new glasses or eyewear soon.
