According to the Vision Council, roughly 164 million Americans wear glasses, and tens of millions of Americans wear contact lenses. However, while some people like their current form of vision correction, others wish there was a better option. Today, our vision experts at Luna Vision in Greensburg, PA are discussing the four most incredible benefits of Lasik, a corrective procedure that will change your life for good in just five to 10 minutes.

 

4 Incredible Benefits of Lasik

1. This Procedure Provides Satisfactory Results

One of the most compelling benefits of Lasik is that it provides rapid, effective vision correction. In fact, this procedure is so effective that 80% of people who receive this procedure are completely satisfied with their results, and many of them never need to wear glasses or contacts again.

However, there is a 99% percent chance that you will have 20/20 vision if you opt for a custom wavefront Lasik procedure. Regardless, there is an excellent chance that you will be able to drive without glasses the day after your procedure.

3. This Procedure is Versatile

Another compelling benefit of this procedure is its impressive versatility. Regardless of whether you have astigmatism, are nearsighted, or are farsighted, there is a very strong possibility that you will qualify for Lasik. Also, there is a very strong possibility that you will qualify for this procedure if you need reading glasses.

4. This Procedure Will Make Allergy Season Easier

If you wear contacts and suffer from seasonal allergies, you probably endure itchy, watery eyes daily. After Lasik, you will no longer have to suffer through constant itching and watering throughout the autumn and spring anymore.

Contact lenses amplify the symptoms of seasonal allergies, like itchy eyes and watery eyes, because they trap pollen. However, after Lasik, there is an 86 to 99% chance that you will never need to wear contacts again. This will save you money on antihistamine eye drops and time taking out your contacts, applying the antihistamine eye drops, waiting several minutes, and putting your contacts back in.
