If you wear glasses or contacts, maybe you’ve started considering LASIK. LASIK has had a positive impact on the lives of millions across the globe.
There’s no greater gift than a life free from the hassles of glasses and contact lenses. Gone are the days when laser eye surgery was, at best, a risky proposition. Today’s LASIK surgery procedures are safe and need less recovery time.
When trying to decide between LASIK procedures, there are a few factors to consider. Keep reading to learn more about LASIK!
Custom LASIK
The thing that sets custom LASIK apart from traditional LASIK is wavefront technology. With wavefront technology, LASIK becomes a custom procedure for each patient. Wavefront technology captures a 3D rendering of each patient’s eyes.
From this rendering, a one of a kind map of the eye gets created. From there, your LASIK surgeon will measure how your eyes process images. Custom LASIK is the most precise LASIK procedure available. By using wavefront results, your LASIK surgeon reshapes the cornea more accurately.
What If I Can’t Afford Custom LASIK?
If you are unable to afford the cost of custom LASIK out of pocket, you may want to explore financing options. It’s important to remember that LASIK is an investment. Over time, you’ll end up saving money after undergoing LASIK. Think of all the money you’re currently spending on glasses and contacts!
Regardless, most people who get LASIK can’t pay for it all up front. Omaha Eye & Laser Institute offers several flexible payment options to make LASIK affordable. Don’t let the cost stand in your way of clear vision!
In the end, it’s all about how comfortable you feel. Getting LASIK is the difference between a life with and without glasses. If you’re looking for freedom, LASIK could be your ticket!
Is It Time To Find Out If You’re A LASIK Candidate?
While you are still considering LASIK, remember that not everyone is a good candidate. Even if you want LASIK, you may be better off with a different vision correction procedure. The only way to know for sure is to schedule a LASIK consultation.
It is during a LASIK consultation that your LASIK surgeon can test the thickness of your corneas. You’ll also get evaluated for your overall eye health. Even if you are not considered a good candidate for LASIK, there are other procedures!
Your LASIK surgeon may recommend PRK instead. Custom LASIK is better for patients who may have not qualified for traditional LASIK in the past. Thanks to the wavefront technology, patients with thinner corneas can now qualify.
