Five Reasons to Get LASIK This New Year
- Posted on: Dec 28 2017
Contact lenses and eyeglasses improve your vision, but they hardly compare to the permanent upgrade of LASIK eye surgery. In this post, New York City laser eye surgery expert Dr. Gregory Pamel shares his top five reasons to get LASIK this New Year.
Why You Should Get LASIK
- Enjoy Perfect Vision – In most cases, LASIK surgery’s stellar technologies allow patients to attain perfect vision. Some patients even have better than 20/20 vision after the procedure.
- Healthier Eyes – Contact lenses can trap particles of dirt and bacteria against the eye, causing discomfort or even damage. Swimming while wearing lenses can be an especially abrasive experience, as chlorine or salt water in your contacts will keep your eyes stinging even after you leave the water.
- Save Money – Over time, the cost of contact lenses, eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses can really add up. LASIK surgery is a one-time cost that can easily save you money in the long run.
- Comfort – It’s hard to beat the comfort of LASIK versus glasses or contacts. With LASIK, you’ll have clearer vision from the moment you open your eyes in the morning, without the hassle and irritation of cleaning, storing and wearing lenses.
- Ease of Travel – Keeping any kind of lens protected during travel can be quite the inconvenience. LASIK gives you one less thing to worry about when packing for a trip.
Better Vision for the New Year
The New Year is an excellent time to proceed with LASIK surgery for a variety of reasons. For starters, it’s a New Year’s resolution that can have life-long beneficial results. The winter can also be an excellent time to heal from eye surgery, as the weather is more conducive to staying inside and out of the sun. As with any surgery, you need to give your body adequate time to rest and heal properly.
Financial Sense
Many people find that LASIK around the New Year makes the best financial sense. With more financial assistance options than ever before, many medical aid and insurance programs are beginning to cover more of the procedure’s costs. Holiday money and tax returns can even be utilized to fund your surgery at the New Year.
LASIK can greatly improve your quality of life and lead to hassle-free, perfect vision. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Gregory Pamel, email or call the Pamel Vision and Laser Group at (212) 355-2215.
