Key Myths About LASIK Vision Correction — BUSTED!

LASIK vision correction could mean you never again have to dash through the rain with spotted glasses or worry about being caught without contact solution when you spend the night someplace unexpectedly. It can mean freedom from seasonal allergies exacerbated by contact lenses and the ability to jump into sports at anytime.

Some people even achieve 20/15 (“better than perfect vision”) after LASIK vision correction surgery. If your spouse or boss didn't think you were perfect before, you could honestly tell them you're better than perfect then!

Some people are interested in LASIK but holding back because they are worried about pain and the expense, so we turned to the experts at Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center to get to the bottom of it.

Q: Does LASIK vision correction hurt?

A: Nope. Your eye is numbed the whole time using anesthetic eye drops. According to Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center, for a few hours afterward, you might feel "a mild tearing or a foreign body sensation, like an eyelash or a backward contact lens in your eye. This sensation disappears after sleeping and, if needed, a topical eye drop is supplied for use after surgery. Usually, any discomfort goes away after a few hours."

Q: Can I afford LASIK surgery?

A: LASIK is a long-term investment in your vision and overall well-being. Ask about the 24-month, no interest financing options at Clear Advantage. Many people also can use funds from their flexible spending accounts.

Clear Advantage's Dr. N. Timothy Peters has performed more than 22,000 LASIK procedures. Clear Advantage offers LASIK, the Visian implantable contact lens and other vision correction procedures.
