Improved Quality of Life Following LASIK

    CHICAGO, IL, July 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Have you been considering LASIK? Did you know that in addition to improved vision, many people experience a noticeably improved quality of life following LASIK? We seem to take good vision for granted, even if it is corrected vision. But only when we have good uncorrected vision does it really hit home just how the quality of our lives are impacted by what might seem only a convenience-freedom from the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Things We Take For Granted

We go to work every day and expect to do our job just as we did the day before. Now think about working without glasses or contact lenses. Would that be more convenient? What about promotions, or jobs you have only dreamed about?

Most of us never think about how LASIK might affect our careers. Are there any aspects of your business that you cannot do because you wear glasses or contact lenses? Have you been denied promotions or even eligibility for an opening because it required good uncorrected vision?

Would you agree that availing you of those opportunities would certainly improve the quality of your life? For many people LASIK can make just this type of improvement because it commonly corrects vision to 20/40 or better-sufficient to drive legally without corrective lenses.

Picture a football player wearing glasses being tackled. How long do you think his glasses will last? How long can he expect to be in the game? How much would his glasses distract him? For some athletes even contact lenses can hinder their performance.

Dentists and surgeons do, of course, wear glasses and contact lenses but how much more convenient would it be to be free of devices that can slip out of place at a critical moment, or need adjusting at a time when sterile hands must be maintained.

Closer to home, not having to fumble around to find your glasses for ordinary tasks may be merely convenient. You might enjoy doing hobbies or projects, or even just reading a book without having to use corrective lenses. For many of us, that would be a welcome improvement to the quality of our lives.

Can you appreciate what it would be like to drive without corrective lenses? You will if your break or lose yours, posing more than an inconvenience. It could leave you stranded somewhere.

Other quality of life improvements are more serious, like being able to see clearly during any emergency, when there is no time to fumble around.

Expect the Unexpected

With LASIK, you can expect years of hassle-free clear vision. With custom LASIK, most of the concerns associated with conventional LASIK are eliminated. If it has been a while since you have investigated LASIK options, you may be pleased at the latest innovations and outcomes.
