In 1998 I had the chance to "throw away my glasses" and undergo LASIK. At the time, LASIK was not an FDA-approved procedure, but was being performed "off-label" on lasers that had been approved for another refractive procedure called PRK. LASIK is performed by cutting a flap into the cornea, flipping it back, burning tissue from the middle layer of the cornea (called the stroma), returning the flap to its original position, smoothing it into place and wait for healing to take place.

First off, I want to preface this by saying that my company gave me a nice benefit package which allowed me to get $500 off my operation. If you find yourself in a similar scenario, I strongly urge you to consider this as a safe and hassle-free alternative to wearing glasses or contact lenses.

Many people get weary of wearing glasses all the time, and it can make you feel unattractive as well. Perhaps, your eyes are too sensitive for contact lenses also, because they are known to be often associated with eye problems and infections. There is a new method to correct eyes; however it is a surgery that permanently repairs the eyes. Lasik eye surgery has become quite a prominent way to correct vision, for a permanent fix to your vision troubles. The decision to undergo Lasik schedule should be well-thought out, and well researched.

While I was coming habitat from college intended for the appreciation holidays, I heard that he had done a Lasik action for his visualization. I was shocked. Instantly I noticed that he has worn sunglasses on a wet Maryland afternoon. Actually, one of the probable impermanent side effects of the Lasik process is a feeling to light. I talked with him privately. He said that he was not suffering with any side effect that his Lasik Physician had mentioned, but was enjoying a fantastic time building the family feels that really he did. Like a strange character.

Our advanced technology has given us many advances in the medical field, but none more appreciated than restoring one's vision back to near perfect state. I am talking about Lasik Eye Surgery. I am sure that I am not the only one that is overly thrilled of this discovery. Just the thought of seeing better without the need of contacts or glasses is just the find of the century for me.
