IMPROVING YOUR QUALITY OF
VISION
The idea of using glasses or contacts for vision
correction is a technique that was invented over 700
years ago. If that's not reason enough to update
correcting your vision, we have two more reasons:
•
Improving Your Quality of Vision
•
Enhancing Your Quality of Lifestyle
Although
glasses and contacts serve their purpose well, they
don't actually solve the problem at the source. Instead
they mask the problem with a temporary solution and
become just another thing to deal with on a daily basis.
Plus, the costs & maintenance of contacts and glasses are a constant
expense. |

Why Choose LASIK Over Glasses |
|
Glasses are an irritation and inconvenience. They are prone to
scratches, getting lost, fogging, and breaking, and they have to be
replaced periodically. Even top name brand frames are still the same
technology Ben Franklin used.
Can you throw away
your glasses forever after LASIK? The good news is that
LASIK will have you seeing clearly for many years. The
younger you are when you get LASIK, the longer you can
be free from glasses. By the time you reach your 40s you
may need reading glasses due to the effects of aging
(Presbyopia) but you'll still be free from the effects
of astigmatism, farsightedness or nearsightedness.
Why Choose LASIK Over Contacts
Contacts, while a great alternative to glasses, have
their own issues. Losing, misplacing, forgetting,
scratching, slipping, tearing, sore eyes, red eyes,
itchy eyes, glued to your eyeballs, and the continuing
cost of lenses and cleaning solution - is this beginning
to sound like your life?
After LASIK you can take
all of these words, phrases and hassles out of your
dictionary - and your life.
We've put together this list of our patients' most common gripes
and delights in the LASIK Versus Contacts debate.

HOW LASIK
WORKS
With the most advanced technology in the hands of a skilled surgeon, LASIK is a very safe, and quick, 15-minute procedure.

The LASIK Procedure
Once your eye has been
painlessly anesthetized, a comfortable device to prevent blinking will
be situated between your eyelids. In less than a minute, while you are
focused on a "target' light, the laser painlessly reshapes your cornea.
Once the protective flap is properly repositioned, your incision will
then securely and quickly bond stitch-free. Learn More »

Are you a LASIK candidate?
Determining
if you are a LASIK candidate involves more than just knowing
your refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or
astigmatism) and your prescription. It's not an answer that can
be guessed at by you or an Optometrist.
The only way to
know for sure if LASIK is right for you is by having a thorough
comprehensive LASIK consultation. In fact we insist on
performing the most comprehensive consultation before we'll
approve you for LASIK at McMann Eye Institute.
Some
people might spend years researching the procedure only to find
that they were never a candidate in the first place. That can be
a major disappointment. The only way to avoid this
disappointment is by having a full and comprehensive LASIK
Consultation. Click here for the 4 main factors that help determine is LASIK is right for you! |
