No More Spectacles

Any one who has worn glasses or contacts since they were in third grade can tell you that the invention of LASEK was fantastic. Back in my day, contacts were extremely expensive and not an option for someone so young. So I got to go through elemetary and junior high school with glasses and braces. I’ll never forget the day I got contacts and my braces were removed. All of the sudden, I felt so free. I also played sports, so the first time I played without glasses and the safety strap around my head, I thought I was going to burst with joy. At least if I took a shot to the face, it didn’t hurt nearly as much.

LASIK and LASEK surgery offers a terrific alternative to the daily grind of corrective lenses. I did some research on the Internet by typing in New York LASEK, what is LASIK, etc. and found all the answers to my questions. I was a bit apprehensive about messing with my eyes. I’m a wimp about such things anyway and the prospect of being awake with my eyes forced wide open was unsettling. But after researching LASEK and LASIK surgery, many of my concerns have been put to rest. I have also found some testimonials with stunning results. Many of the patients that underwent LASIK or LASEK surgery have found their eyesight improved to 20/20 or better.

As I grow increasingly comfortable with the idea of LASIK or LASEK, I now need to research doctors and clinics. Sometimes consulting with the doctor and/or his staff can give you a good indication if that particular clinic is the place for you. However, getting recommendations from friends, family and co-workers are probably more beneficial. For peace of mind purposes, don’t overlook their wisdom.
