Our 100% non-biased reasons for staying... or going.
It’s the age-old question for those requiring assistance with their vision – should I get laser eye surgery or is it better to stick with the glasses? There are clear benefits with both. Read on for our 100% non-biased list of top ten reasons for making a change (or not)
Reasons for going on with glasses
- It’s easy to update a new fashion statement every few years.
- You’ll always have an additional barrier against insects and dirt.
- The windows to your soul can look better with a nice frame around them.
- Unlike contacts, you have less risk of eye infection with glasses.
- First impressions can make people believe you’re smarter than you are.
- You can take them off, let down your hair, and transform from an ugly duckling to the hot girl in a 90s high school movie, or…
- You can keep them on and, whenever there’s an emergency, rush out of the room unbuttoning your shirt, leading to speculation that you’re Clark Kent.
- It may seem easier to spread out eyesight costs with ongoing glasses payments.
- It’s easier to stick with an established habit rather than risking change.
- It’s far easier to look condescending at someone when peering over the top of your glasses.
Reasons for looking forward to laser
- It’s almost always a one-and-done solution.
- There are long-term savings when compared to costly new prescriptions.
- You’ll have 20-20 vision.
- The surgery is fast, generally pain-free, and fast-healing.
- No more searching for lost glasses or spending time putting in and taking out contact lenses
- Scratched lenses and broken glasses stress will be gone forever.
- People will see your whole face and get to enjoy the full spectrum of your magnificent eye rolls and eyebrow raises.
- Playing contact sports, skiing, swimming, biking – they’re all far easier when you don’t have to worry about glasses or contacts.
- Likewise, the small irritations of fogged glasses when opening the oven or wearing masks are a thing of the past.
- Wake up seeing clearly, travel light without vision aids, and enjoy the simplicity of living without visual limitations.
