Glasses can get lost or broken. Contacts can cause eye irritation. Lots of people would love to reduce or eliminate their dependency on both. That’s where LASIK can help. LASIK is a form of laser vision correction whereby an eye surgeon uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea of your eye to make it more ideal for focusing light, thus improving your vision. At SNEAD EYE GROUP this is one of our most popular elective surgeries!Laser vision correction can give patients with common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, better vision. This can help to reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses, and in some cases eliminate dependency entirely!
In one survey, 87 percent of LASIK patients said they would recommend it to their friends. There is no minimum amount of correction required, and speaking to a SNEAD eye care professional about it can be the first step to changing how you see the world forever. This new year, give yourself the gift of better vision with LASIK. Call today to schedule your consultation.
