LASIK: Say Goodbye to Corrective Lenses This Fall

With school beginning and the leaves starting to change, it’s no secret that fall is right around the corner. But if your vision is less than perfect, enjoying the fall foliage and changing of seasons can be a pain. Eliminate your need for glasses and contacts with LASIK eye surgery – the 20-minute procedure to correct refractive errors.

Save Yourself Time

While glasses are a fun accessory, not having to deal with cleaning, care, and the constant upkeep of your prescription saves time for a pumpkin spice latte on your way to work. In fact, a study from the American Academy of Ophthalmology found that 3 out of 4 former glasses wearers were strongly satisfied three years after their LASIK procedure. In addition to all of the extra time you’ll have in the morning, LASIK gives you the chance to experience all of the beauty that is fall without corrective lenses getting in the way.

Save Yourself Hassle

1 in 3 people are affected by allergies, and just because we’re far from springtime, doesn’t mean those itchy eyes and stuffy noses are going anywhere soon. Fall is also the worst time for allergies like mites, mold, and ragweed. Even worse, when raking your yard, leaves agitate pollen and mold into the air, making asthma and allergy symptoms much worse. Having to bother with contact lenses with allergens on your hands is something no one should have to worry about. After LASIK, you’ll say goodbye to itchy eyes with irritation compounded by corrective lenses.

Simplify Your Life

After a few months away from your favorite TV shows, start the viewing season absent of dry contacts during a Netflix binge or while watching football. It’s the simple things in life that LASIK makes easier.

Bonus: some of your favorite TV stars have had a LASIK procedure. From Kim Kardashian to LeBron James to Reese Witherspoon, celebrities and professional atheletes are turning to LASIK for a life without corrective lenses.

The Time is Right

LASIK eye surgery is the perfect procedure for fall, because it gives you time to get used to your new, corrective lens-free lifestyle – just in time for the holiday season. With parties, playtime, and family gatherings filling up the schedule, you’ll be rolling in the compliments and won’t have to think twice about “glasses’ glare” in pictures.
