Things that go thump in the night, dollars down the drain, allergies and wasted time… those were among the first four reasons LASIK is better than relying on contact lenses for perfect vision. They aren’t the only reasons, by far. Here are four more to consider before scheduling your free LASIK evaluation at Eisner Laser Center.

5. Contacts make it more difficult to be active. It’s not pleasant to jog, bike or hike in your contact lenses on a windy day. Nor is it an enjoyable experience to have sweat (and make-up, if you’re a woman) run into your eyes as you work out at the gym or participate in a vigorous sport. LASIK vision correction surgery enables you to be as active as you desire without worrying about lost contacts, dust and debris behind your lenses or sweat and makeup leading to infection.  

6. Contacts make it more difficult to enjoy the outdoors. It’s tough to camp in your contact lenses, especially if you’re far from running water and clean counters. And the guys are going to make fun of you if you bring an overnight bag full of sterilizing solutions and eye drops to deer camp. If you have LASIK, you can camp, explore and hunt without inconvenience or embarrassment.  

7. Air travel is inconvenient in contacts. From dry airplane air to TSA rules regarding how many ounces of liquid you can bring on the aircraft, traveling by plane can be a pain in contact lenses. You could wear your glasses onboard and leave your contacts in your checked luggage. Or you could have LASIK and say goodbye to both.

8. The beach is a nightmare in contacts. Sand and contact lenses are certainly not a match made in heaven. You can’t really swim in them either, so what’s even the point of a trip to the beach? You could leave your contacts at home and stumble blindly around the other sunbathers. Or you could have LASIK and enjoy every pleasurable outing a lot more.  

Are you ready to choose LASIK over contact lenses? Are you ready to experience perfect (or near perfect) vision every day without inconvenience or discomfort? We’d love to tell you more about the benefits of laser vision correction at a free LASIK consultation. Give Eisner Laser Center a call to schedule yours today.
