Contacts vs. Glasses vs. LASIK

Glasses were the first form of corrective eye wear, but there are disadvantages to them. Contacts became popular quickly because of the perks they have over glasses. Many people prefer contacts because they make them feel more attractive. Contacts are also better for athletes and active people. LASIK has all of the advantages of contacts and more. The morning hassle of getting the contacts in and the irritation of having them in too long is no longer a problem with LASIK. Besides these physical advantages there is the money savings. Every new pair of glasses and contacts can cost up to $500 (which need to be replaced every two years). LASIK is a life long fix for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
