As spring draws closer, many people are starting to look forward to warmer weather, spending more time outdoors, and of course, summer. And if you are someone who wears contacts or glasses, this is the perfect time of year to start considering LASIK surgery.
Imagine this: summer gets here and you are free to enjoy long days at the pool, summer vacation, and a 4th of July barbecue free of contacts or glasses. Does that sound too good to be true? Here are four reasons you should “spring” for LASIK before summer:
Ditch the prescription sunglasses
If you regularly wear glasses, then you are probably used to having to bring out the prescription sunglasses every summer. Thanks to LASIK, you can say “so long” to your prescription sunglasses and buy any kind of glasses you want.
Outdoor activities
There are a lot of outdoor activities to be enjoyed during the summer months. But it’s no secret that glasses or contacts can get in the way of your ability to fully enjoy them. Having LASIK will save you from worrying about accidentally breaking your glasses or losing a contact.
Summer vacation
Is there anything better than summer vacation? We can think of something — getting to leave your contacts case at home this year. This year, you can focus on enjoying your trip without remembering to pack your backup pair of glasses or contact solution.
Swimming
Have you ever forgotten you were wearing contact lenses before jumping into the pool? Your contacts probably felt irritated and like they were superglued to your eyes. But of course, if you don’t wear them then you can’t see anything underwater. This year you can forget about the contacts and enjoy swimming with clear vision.
Of course, LASIK will give you more than just an enjoyable summer. It will give you the freedom to live your life without glasses and contacts every day. Contact our Garden City office to learn more about LASIK and schedule your LASIK consultation.
