While an option exists to go with eyeglasses and contact lenses to improve your vision, it cannot be refuted how valuable the freedom from these two options is. Many reasons exist to choose laser eye surgery, but the most common reason why people opt for LASIK is its simplicity, affordability, quickness, and the amazing results following the surgery.
As per a report published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than 70,000 LASIK procedures are being conducted each year. Amongst all of these surgeries, the most procedures happen in the winter months of January to March. Here are some top reasons why people prefer winters for their laser eye surgeries.
1. Winter Seasons Means Less Activity
This is only logical since during the winter months most people are relatively less active. It becomes easier to recuperate without having to sacrifice your active lifestyle. Some businesses are also comparatively slower and employees find it much easier to apply for short vacations without being worried about the piling work load during their absence. Some people also get gifts in cash during the holiday season that they prudently use towards their vision correction procedures. Money well spent.
2. New Look for the New Year
Amongst many other resolutions for the year, the one that most commonly appears is the new look for the New Year. Many people make new goals and one of them is often to alter some aspect of their appearance. For those who wear vision correction eyewear, a new look may be giving up their glasses or contact lenses. By getting vision correction surgery, many LASIK patients feel a surge of self-confidence. For some people, their self esteem is tied in with their physical appearance and they place a lot importance on the freedom from having to wear glasses. This necessitates that you only refer to good medical institutions like Sugarland Eye & Laser Center in Houston so that you can gain freedom and your confidence in life.
3. Good Use of Tax Refunds
You will find many people use their tax refunds to pay for their LASIK eye surgery. Many employees have the opportunity to take advantage of their Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account Plan (HSAP) and utilize their tax free income towards getting a LASIK procedure. Since this procedure is considered cosmetic and does not come under insurance, it becomes easier for a lot of people to afford these surgeries.
Although LASIK can be conducted year round, for people 18 years and older, the winter months make economic and practical sense for those suffering from vision impairment. With the use of technology, the risk surrounding LASIK procedures has minimized significantly. You mitigate this risk even more by using eye surgeons with years of experience in this field. Getting refractive surgery may seem pricey at the face of it, but it will pay for itself in years to come by saving you money in eye wear and contact lenses. Doing what comes best for the health of your eyes at a reasonable price.
