Is LASIK the Best Procedure for Me?
Most people know about LASIK. But few know about other alternatives like EVO ICL, PRK, SMILE, and Clear (Refractive) Lens Exchange. That’s why many start their search backward by going for a LASIK screening in a commercial LASIK center. Here is a better question to ask: “What is the procedure that will give me the best vision in the long term in the safest fashion?” The answer to this question will be unveiled by a comprehensive vision correction screening but not by a free LASIK screening offered to get you through the door in many commercial LASIK centers.
Depending on your age, prescription range, and individual eyes, you may be much better served with one of the LASIK alternatives. In fact, if you are over 45, and want to be able to read without glasses LASIK or SMILE are probably not your best bet. They can both correct your vision for distance, but they’re not very good for fixing near vision in both eyes. Some surgeons resort to monovision as an option. But it’s not ideal. Instead, look into Clear (Refractive) Lens Exchange.
