When Is Surgery Indicated
Refractive laser eye surgery is an elective procedure.
Why Patients Choose Refractive Surgery
Corrective surgery is a benefit of modern technology and medicine, an option that can enhance the quality of life.
Some reasons why patients elect to have refractive surgery:
Freedom from Corrective Wear
Some wish to be independent of their spectacles, contact lenses, or are unable to wear their contact lenses due to dry eye problems or contact lens solution allergies.
Active Lifestyles & Careers
Some select surgery to enable them to participate in certain sports such as windsurfing, swimming, mountain climbing, scuba diving, water skiing, or for certain occupations, such as the police force and armed forces.
Enhanced Confidence
Others feel visually and socially restricted by spectacles or contact lenses.
