Why do some people undergo refractive surgery?
Most individuals want to experience life to the fullest, and have the visual freedom to accomplish that goal. Some people just don’t like the way they look in glasses, or feel that wearing contact lenses is bothersome and time consuming, or they may have developed intolerance or allergies to contact lenses and solutions. Contact lenses can also cause serious vision threatening eye infections. Glasses are expensive, can fog or get wet outside and can be lost. They also limit side vision. Eye glasses and contacts often interfere with a person’s enjoyment of their chosen activities or their work performance.
