The use of eyeglasses to correct poor vision dates back to the Middle Ages, while Leonardo da Vinci is credited for experimenting with the first principles of contact lenses.

Today, hundreds of millions of people worldwide rely on either glasses or contact lenses to give them clearer vision and get them through life. If you are one of the millions, then you know what an inconvenience it can often be to deal with your glasses or take care of your contact lenses.

Fortunately, thanks to recent advancements in technology, you now have a more effective and convenient option to consider: new Lasik eye surgery.

The Basics of Lasik

Lasik eye surgery is a short operational procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct various vision deficiencies including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

It has become so popular among the public that more and more Lasik Institutes and surgical centers have opened across the country and throughout the world. Organizations such as Lasik New York, Lasik Dallas, Lasik San Diego and Lasik San Francisco see hundreds of potential patients monthly.

The procedure has even found fans in numerous celebrities, and an eye surgery voucher was recently included in several award ceremony gift bags.

It is important to note, however, that while new Lasik eye surgery is a predominantly safe and effective procedure, there are no guarantees. Several possible side effects and complications may arise after surgery, including poor or diminished vision, sensitivity to light, glares or halos and others.

Doing Your Part

If you are considering Lasik eye surgery, make sure you visit several Lasik institutes and do your research. Beware of clinics that advertise low prices, which may just be a cover up for hidden fees. If possible, talk to past clients of the clinic for a first-hand account of what to expect and feel free to ask your doctor or surgeon any questions.

Choosing the right Lasik institute for you may be a daunting task, but one that should be taken seriously and considered carefully. Getting the results you want - and deserve - is the best way to kick start your new, stress-free life.
