With the third round of stimulus checks underway, millions of Americans are getting a much-needed boost to their finances. And although there are plenty of ways to spend the additional funds, investing in your health has one of the biggest payoffs. Vision correction surgery, for example, lasts years — sometimes even a lifetime.
Whether you’ve never heard of LASIK or it has long been on your to-do list, now might be the perfect time to take the initiative and schedule a consultation.
What Is LASIK?
LASIK — which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis — is a simple, quick, and comfortable eye surgery that offers life-changing results, which is why more than 10 million Americans have had taken the plunge.
During LASIK surgery, a special laser is used to change the shape of the clear tissue at the front of your eye. The procedure itself only lasts several painless minutes, Afterwards, your vision will gradually improve over the following days and weeks.
Is LASIK Right For You?
If you have one of the following vision problems, LASIK may be the solution:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. The best way to determine whether or not this surgery is for you is by having a highly qualified surgeon perform an evaluation of your eyes and vision. Even if you’re not a candidate for LASIK, another vision correction surgery, such as ICL, PRK, and clear lens exchange, could be a fitting alternative.
