Because a lot of people today are more used to sitting in front of a computer all day, worsening eyesight is one of the problems that also keeps on worsening.
If you have the same problem but don't want to wear eyeglasses or contact lens, there's a more permanent solution that you could consider and that's LASIK surgery.
Don't be fooled by it being referred to as a "surgery".
There is no blood and scalpels and messy wounds involved with the procedure, although it's also a complex procedure.
The procedure involves a laser device used to create a flap in the cornea to correct the eyesight.
Although it sounds simple enough, there are crucial pre-operative and post-operative care procedures that you have to do.
You can't simply walk into a clinic and expect to have a LASIK on that day itself.
The preparation and the maintenance during the recovery process are as crucial to follow as the surgery itself so make sure that you are ready to go through the entire process.
For instance, before the procedure, people who used to wear soft contact lenses have to stop wearing them 3 weeks before the surgery and people who used to wear hard contact lenses have to stop wearing them 6 weeks plus another 6 weeks for every three years they have worn it.
These are all very important in making sure that your eyes get the proper care that they need, and if you want to ensure also that you are going to get through the recover process well and with a perfect vision again.
There are a lot more details that you should remember when it comes to the pre and post operative care, but make sure that you discuss everything with your surgeon.
