Distortion, the weight of the frame with lenses and poor peripheral vision can be a problem. So, as good as they are, glasses still leave many searching for a better alternative. Contact lenses are very popular and they work well, but they require meticulous care and cannot correct the full range of refractive problems. Many people have eyes that are too dry or too sensitive to tolerate them. As with glasses there are many occupations and types of sport where the wearing of these are impossible.
Some people have difficulty adjusting to glasses or contact lenses.
This can be for a variety of reasons such as the shape of their eyeball, nose or face. It can also be because of the lubrication of their eyes, living or working environment, or the type of work or sport they participate in. It takes away the fear that you might be visually handicapped and embarrassed when you lose your glasses or contact lenses. These procedures are done by Ophthalmic Surgeons suitably qualified to perform these procedures. Your final visual outcome is going to depend on the special training and experience of the surgeon you choose.
