The human eye tends towards dryness as we age, making the use of contact lenses more uncomfortable. Certain types of employment require excellent vision without corrective devices. In other jobs, the use of glasses may be inconvenient. Laser vision correction offers the potential to reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses or in many cases, eliminate them all together. For those who would prefer not to wear corrective lenses of any kind, it is an exciting, safe, and effective alternative.
Refractive procedures can successfully offer lens-free living to a large number of patients.
I have difficulty wearing contact lenses. I do not like the constant dependence on corrective lenses, especially in emergency situations. Corrective lenses keep me from enjoying certain activities. I would like to pursue a career that requires better vision without glasses or contact lenses. I understand that refractive procedures restore natural vision, but not perfect vision.
