Some
of the common reasons why people undergo LASIK or get rid of their spectacles
and contact lenses are : contact lens intolerance, cosmetic reasons, social (marriage),
tired of wearing glasses, and lifestyle activities that are inhibited due to glasses
or lens wear such as outdoor sports like golf, football, water sports or hiking.
In some careers such as Merchant Navy and Airways it is a requirement to have
20/20 or 6/6 vision. LASIK helps tremendously here. |
Spectacles
are cosmetically unappealing for some. There is a degree of distortion when looking
through the periphery of the glasses, the field of vision is reduced and on leaving
a cold room moisture can fog the glasses and blur vision for a few minutes. Hence
glasses are unacceptable for certain careers. Contact lenses require motivation
with great attention to hygiene during insertion and removal, failing which sight
- threatening infections may result.
