More on LASIK compared to glasses and contacts

The cost and effort of LASIK eye surgery is a superior way to correct problematic eyesight compared to other methods in the way of overall price, immediate improvement, and overall improvement. According to Michael O’Keeffe eye-sight correction improved greatly when the microscope and laser came into use, the laser was introduced to eye surgery in 1979. O’Keeffe explains that in 1949 Harold Ridley invented what would now be called the contact lens. Today, according to Bob Holmes, in Contact Lenses: See Your Way to Savings, he states that 25 million Americans wear contacts. He goes on to say that this eye correction method could easily cost four thousand dollars over ten years counting the fifteen gallons of solution and the average new pair every two years. Vantrice Briggs gives information on the cost and hassles of eyeglasses in LASIK Vision Correction Surgery Vs. Eyeglasses. Briggs says that the cost of glasses are up to four hundred dollars per pair and most often those are replaced every two years. There have been many scientists that have researched LASIK eye surgery and it’s positive and negative effects. Most often the results after the surgery are remarkably different. There have also been many average people who have researched on their own time to find the “pros and cons” of the surgery for personal use. LASIK usually costs between one thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars but never calls for a “new pair”.
