Lasik might be for you

Lasik might be for you. My father had Lasik surgery , on both eyes.
My dad did not need his eye-glasses anymore.

First what is Lasik and how much would it cost ? Can it help my eye-sight ? Well I put together the answers to these questions. For my readers.


Here is Lasik defined by Wikipedia,
LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK is performed by ophthalmologists using a laser.[1] LASIK is similar to other surgical corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) though it provides benefits such as faster patient recovery. Both LASIK and PRK represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of vision problems, and are thus viable alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many patients.

And the cost of Lasik is about $1748 to $2314. http://www.allaboutvision.com/visionsurgery/cost.htm


Here is a helpful link for Lasik.

If you want a different choice from eyewear , such as glasses or contacts than Lasik just could be for you !
