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.

Did you know that good health and nutrition play critical roles for maintaining a set of healthy eyes? Studies show that protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E can help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts, In fact, a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology found a high intake of foods such as spinach, kale, turnip greens, collards, broccoli, pumpkin, and corn can reduce the risk of cataracts by 18%! “Eating leafy green vegetables is not only good for your health, it’s good for your vision. The old saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is very true when it comes to healthy eyes,” says Dr. Brad Snead with SNEAD EYE GROUP.
Green leafy vegetables not your thing? Have you tried kale chips?! They are super tasty, easy to make and will treat your eyes to loads of good nutrients! Here’s a link to a recipe so you can try them at home – Click here
