A Life Half Blind
by Fabian Toulouse
For every kid who has ever cried with frustration at being called "four eyes," there is an adult who hates equally the frustration of lost glasses, torn contact lenses, and the other nuisances that come with having to use corrective eyewear. There used to be no alternative, short of stumbling through life half blind. Thankfully, this is no longer true. With the advent of Lasik Los Angeles patients can now toss the contact solution and donate their glasses to the Lions Club! The Lasik Los Angeles physicians perform can eliminate all need for corrective eyewear. Just think! No more fogged glasses lenses; no more tight ear pieces, no more poking yourself in the eye trying to remove a contact. Lasik Los Angeles is total freedom from the hassle of contacts and glasses.
Lots of people are good candidates for the Lasik Los Angeles surgeons are offering. In fact, 95% of patients with common, mild low-order vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism find they come out of Lasik surgery with 20/20 vision--or better! Even patients with higher order aberrations which eyewear cannot correct are helped through the latest advances in the field.
The Lasik Los Angeles physicians use requires no blade, only a medical laser. After mapping the cornea, the surgeon is able to remove tissue from the cornea, the clear outer covering of the eye. This reshapes the curvature of the cornea, correcting vision. The procedure is painless, as the eyes are numbed with anesthetic drops, although some pressure may be expected. Recovery is not long and drawn out. Most patients will feel mild irritation and dryness for a few hours afterward. This is relieved by eye drops.
For anyone tired of the frustration of eyewear, it is definitely worth looking into the Lasik Los Angeles area doctors can provide. It can mean relief after a lifetime of grief!
