Laser eye surgery is one option for people who suffer from long-sightedness, short-sightedness or astigmatism. It can also be an option for people with keratoconus. Problems with eyesight can affect daily life and the ability to live without dependence on others. Wearing contact lenses or glasses regularly can help. This also leads to a decreased sense of well-being. Fortunately, this can be fixed with the use of glasses which is not always a desired solution

For people with poor vision, then eyeglasses were a must. This necessity overcome by the introduction of contact lenses. However, people also face some challenges when exchanging lenses.

Fitted contact lenses that come into direct contact with the surface of the eye are fragile and are, in some cases, prone to serious infections.

Laser vision correction has seen significant improvements in the past quarter century. As a result, the safety of laser eye surgeries is boosted and thus, patients gained a permanent alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
