Whether it’s because you’re tired of wearing glasses or dealing with contacts, you may have thought about having your vision corrected after an eye exam through Lasik eye surgery. With a number of locations throughout Greater Cincinnati, the experts at Wing Eyecare consult on this procedure — which employs specialized lasers to permanently correct vision — all of the time. As they see it, many people would be perfect candidates for this surgery without even knowing it.

So how can you tell if you should consider Lasik surgery? It’s worth considering if you fit in any of the following categories:

  • You Lead An Active Life: The most immediately obvious benefit of having this procedure done is that you’ll never need to fuss with contact lenses or glasses. If you’re the type that takes part in sports, goes running, or just enjoys staying active, it’s a good choice to make. That said, it’s not recommended if you take part in martial arts that involve blows to the face.
  • You’re Looking To Simplify: The thing about Lasik is that it’s a one-time procedure — your vision is corrected for life. This means you’ll never need to deal with going back to the optometrist or have to mess with replacing glasses or contacts. Aside from the occasional eye exam, or if your vision continues to get worse, you won’t need to make as many appointments.

Luckily, a good eye doctor will be able to make a qualified assessment, and most adults in good health are deemed fit to undergo the procedure.
