Lasik Surgery or Simple Eyesight Exercises - The Choice is Yours

There are very few people who have spent enough time studying eyecare to understand that the choice between Lasik surgery and eye exercises to improve vision is a perfectly legitimate one.

In all fairness, neither did I until it was too late.  Several years ago, I had a Laser procedure at one of the largest, most respected practices in the country.  In addition to all of the stories that are written about laser eye surgery risks, the release which I signed prior to my procedure also spelled out in great detail, the risks associated with the procedure, and the patients acknowledgement that they are comfortable assuming those risks.
I believe far too many people view this as purely procedural, and do not spend enough time considering the potential outcomes and viable alternatives.  In addition, this does not even take into account laser eye surgery prices, which if performed at a reputable practice, are still a significant investment, especially during the cuurent economic crisis.

As I go back and review the release which I signed, the magnitude of the warnings finally hit me.

• The correction you experience may be less than or greater than the desired result
• Your correction may or may not be permanent
• Visual effects of the procedure may include hazy vision, double vision, fluctuating vision, dry eyes, burning eyes, increased sensitivity to light, and the risk of a halo effect with night vision.
• You may still need corrective lenses after surgery to achieve optimal vision.
• And last, but certainly not least, You May Lose Your Vision

My own personal experience was that I experienced several of these setbacks, yet thankfully none of those approached the seriousness of total vision loss.

Since that time, I have spent all of my free time learning about non surgical procedures that were available to me, and are available to you to which really can deliver better eyesight without glasses, contacts, or Lasik. If you are considering Lasik, or are preparing for that new stronger prescription for your glasses or contacts, take a short few moments and look at simple, natural alternatives such as eyesight exercises can offer the same or better outcomes.
