A new generation of extended wear soft contact lenses have been introduced that the FDA has approved for up to 30 days of continuous wear. Not everyone can tolerate 30-day extended wear lenses for a full month of continuous wear, just as some people cannot wear 7-day extended wear lenses safely and comfortably for a full week. Flexible wear may be a safe and comfortable alternative if you are unable to tolerate full-time continuous wear of extended wear lenses.

Lasik eye surgery otherwise known as Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis eye surgery is a technique by which the refractive errors of an eye are corrected. The advent of lasik has brought cheer among those wearing glasses or contact lens because they are relieved of a carrying an extra burden. Yes, glasses or contact lens are always a burden. Can a bespectacled lad ever enjoy a game of football with freedom? The answer is a big NO. So this lasik eye surgery is indeed a boon to those with problems in their vision.

LASIK is an eye surgery done to correct a patient's dependency on wearing contact lenses or eyeglasses. This surgery is most common in patients that have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. There are a few different types of LASIK surgery to be performed. Which one is used depends on the patient and that particular patient's problem. The first step towards having this procedure done is to talk with your Ophthalmologist to see if you are a good candidate.

LASIK is a way to improve your eyesight, but it was also a serious surgery. Though extremely rare, you should be aware of the possibility of these side effects before choosing to have LASIK eye surgery. So many variables can be responsible for the side effects:

-The laser and the way it is calibrated.

-The conditions of the room (i.e. temperature and humidity).

-During surgery, having the cornea moistened will cause effects

-Your genetics and the way your eye responded to the healing.

Okay, now it's a year later. Being conservative in all things, I reined myself back from scheduling the second eye surgery before the first one healed completely. Recovery during that year was entirely uneventful, although a significant annoyance earned my attention instead.

While everyone's experience is different, if you are considering either nighttime contact lenses or Lasik eye surgery, it never hurts to hear other people's stories, so I will share mine with you.
