4 Reasons You Need to Get LASIK Surgery in Time for Summer

Spring is finally here; meaning it’s now the perfect time to get LASIK surgery in time for summer. Whatever your plans are for the upcoming warmer months, LASIK surgery is your ticket to spending your summer like never before. Here are some of the awesome perks of having a glasses and contacts-free summer:

1. Travel: 

Imagine flying without worrying about getting your contact lens solution confiscated by security or your extra lenses being lost along with your luggage. With LASIK surgery, losing your glasses while on vacation goes from a serious problem to a total nonissue.

2. Allergies: 

If you have allergies, spring and summer are already hard on your eyes. Imagine how much extra irritation you would save yourself from if you didn’t have to deal with contacts or glasses! Inflammation from allergies can be a serious pain for contact wearers – and LASIK surgery is the answer to help avoid that extra irritation.

3. Outdoor Activities: 

One of the best things about summer is that you have the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the weather. If you’re going to be playing sports, swimming, gardening, boating, hiking, and more, don’t let your corrective lenses get in the way! Getting your LASIK procedure done in the spring means you’ll be able to fully enjoy the great, hot and muggy outdoors without worrying about steamy glasses or foggy contacts.

4. Sunglasses:

Of course, it just wouldn’t be summer without stylish sunglasses to help protect you from the bright summer sun. Don’t worry about finding prescription sunglasses this year! With LASIK surgery, you can wear any pair of sunglasses you like. Now that’s freedom!

Don’t wait any longer for LASIK surgery. Call us today at (309) 243-3875 to set up your LASIK consultation or visit our website for more information and reserve your spot at one of our upcoming FREE LASIK seminars.
