Those who rely on glasses or contacts may find that LASIK surgery can help improve your eyesight. Every year, over 600,000 Americans have LASIK surgery and reap the benefits of having good sight once again. The best candidates are those that are in good overall health and good eye health. LASIK treats those that are either nearsighted or farsighted, as well as those with astigmatism.
LASIK surgery is a quick and easy vision surgery. It can typically be conducted in both eyes in less than 15-30 minutes and is usually painless. The best part is the results are nearly immediate with very little recovery time needed.
LASIK surgery has gained in popularity because of the benefits:
- The procedure is safe, and patients will no longer need glasses or contact lenses
- The surgery is quick, often just a matter of minutes
- Minimal recovery time
