To decide whether to have LASIK surgery or not can be daunting. The eyes are one of the most valuable and treasured parts of the human body. They form our visual memories, perceptions and represent an integral part of the quality our day to day life. Some might take a long time to decide on having eye surgery, they will think of the idea, research on every possible aspect of it, have a consultation and finally maybe years later take the plunge. On the contrary, for others, laser eye surgery can be a more matter of fact decision - they've seen the advantages of having it, so want it for themselves.
In both cases, the decision might actually take longer than the procedure itself. Laser eye surgery is one of the quickest surgeries available, typically taking around ten to twenty minutes. The first few days after the surgery involve basic care for your eyes using drops and common sense. Usually the clinic would give a list of do's and don'ts the patient should follow in the weeks and month post surgery.
But what after that? What is life after laser eye surgery really like?
People are amazed by the clarity of their vision after having LASIK surgery. The early morning glance out of the window will never be the same. The detail in which people describe what they saw is astonishing. Often spectacle users do not regularly clean their glasses, means that laser eye surgery patients will see more clearly than when they were wearing glasses. Day to day activities which were hindered by glasses will become enjoyable as time progresses. You will have a whole new experience on your next holiday, which will be much more enjoyable as you can see without the hassle of having to find your glasses all the time. Driving at night, reading the menu at your favourite restaurant or visiting the cinema is no more a chore. For blended vision patients the ability to read a book or text message without the aid of a reading glass is often considered nothing short of a miracle.
As you can see, the benefits of having laser eye surgery are endless. But, it is always important to do all possible research about the procedure or benefits, and feel 100% comfortable with the laser eye clinic and the LASIK surgeon you wish to have your laser eye surgery with.
