Still wearing those glasses? Still dealing with all of the issues that go with wearing contact lenses? You probably have countless excuses for continuing to do the same thing year after year after year. “I like myself in glasses,” is one of the old standbys. “Contact lenses are safe and work just fine for me,” you tell your co-worker who just had LASIK. “Oh, it costs too much to have LASIK!” you say with confidence to everyone. You keep repeating that particular excuse until you actually believe it yourself. Dr. Narendra Armogan at OCC LASIK challenges you to DO THE MATH!
If you actually added up all of the costs associated with new glasses, exams, contact lenses, contact lens solutions, cases, lost glasses, lost lenses, and so on, you might be very surprised. Check out our savings calculator here and see how true your pronouncements and beliefs really are. Go ahead, we dare you!
Don’t be surprised that over your lifetime it would be less expensive to improve your vision permanently and have LASIK, than to continue purchasing all the paraphernalia that goes with corrective lenses.
Still not convinced? There are actually more safety concerns wearing contact lenses than having laser vision correction. If not cared for properly, wearing contact lenses can lead to a number of eye issues. There is a higher risk of keratitis, or an inflammation of the cornea, wearing contact lenses. Infections like conjunctivitis occur when contacts are not worn properly, or worn longer than recommended by your doctor. They reduce oxygen to your eyes and can lead to dry eye syndrome, and if you have astigmatism, it is much harder to correct effectively with contact lenses.
LASIK permanently reshapes your cornea to mimic what your lenses have been doing all these years. All LASIK procedures are done using the most advanced and sophisticated technology for laser vision correction available today. With a combined 50 years of medical experience, you can be assured that the surgeons at OCC LASIK, like Dr. Armogan, will provide you with superior results. Do you really like yourself in your glasses? Really? Make the decision to finally enjoy the freedom from contacts and glasses.
