LASIK is about how you feel about the world not just how you see it

September 05, 2009
For many people who have significant refractive error, their world is a complete blur were it not for glasses or contact lenses. And while these appliances do wonders to help millions of people cope with their poor unaided vision, they leave many with a psychological feeling of being incomplete. Some express their concern as worry about what would happen if they ever lost or broke their glasses, or perhaps if swimming in the ocean their contact lenses were to wash out leaving them helpless. Others are continually reminded of the heavy glasses on their noses, or an irritation often felt with a foreign material floating in their eye. For these people laser vision correction is not about perfect vision, it is about a freedom from the dependence on glasses or contact lenses to live their everyday lives. We understand these serious concerns and try to work with patients in Denver Colorado who want to discuss not only the technical aspects of LASIK but also have concerns about how their vision and improved eyesight can impact their everyday lives.
