For many years, the only way to improve eyesight was through the means of corrective lenses. While eyeglasses and contacts are a great option for improving eyesight, neither offers a permanent solution. Many people are opting for LASIK surgery in Londonderry and Windham . LASIK is a procedure performed by an eye doctor that utilizes a laser to make a small incision to create a flap. The flap is folded back and corneal tissue is removed to improve vision. The procedure is quick and recovery time is minimal, and best of all, the results are long lasting. With the ability to permanently improve eyesight, it is easy to see why so many people are asking their eye doctors about LASIK. This article covers just some of the reasons people choose LASIK.
Convenience 
If you wear contacts or glasses, you have likely experienced many of the inconveniences of poor eyesight. For example, waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to find your glasses so that you can grab a glass of water, use the restroom, or even tend to a child. With LASIK, these problems are a thing of the past. No more fumbling for glasses in the dark.
Lifestyle
Many athletes know how difficult it can be to play sports while wearing eyeglasses, or even corrective lenses. After LASIK, athletes can play sports with ease. People who work long hours or spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen know that contacts can become bothersome. No matter your profession or daily activities, LASIK simply makes everything easier.
Appearance
Some people are self conscious about wearing glasses or needing to change out contacts. With LASIK surgery, no one will ever be able to tell you have had eye surgery.
Cost
Believe it or not, LASIK is more cost effective in the long run than either eyeglasses or contacts. Your eye prescription changes overtime, meaning the need to new eyeglasses, and contacts need to be reordered as they are used. With LASIK surgery, there is no cost after the surgery and will end up saving you money over time.
