See the Difference LASIK Can MakeLASIK Benefits Smithtown

For the physicians at North Shore Eye Care, there is no greater reward than seeing their patients thrive with clear, precise vision after LASIK surgery. Patients who undergo LASIK surgery experience not only improved eyesight, but also a number of secondary benefits which can lead to an overall higher quality of life. Although many individuals are still hesitant to undergo laser vision correction, the large majority of patients who do undergo the procedure agree that LASIK benefits outweigh any potential risks. Contact North Shore Eye Care’s Smithtown or Riverhead office location to learn how you can benefit from LASIK surgery. 

LASIK Surgery Benefits

The experienced physicians at North Shore Eye Care have helped thousands of patients realize the countless possibilities that clearer vision opens up. Advances in laser technology have made LASIK surgery extremely safe, with outcomes that are becoming increasingly predictable, as well as making it possible for a greater number of patients to undergo surgery. While the most obvious benefit of LASIK is clearer vision, the procedure can positively affect a patient’s life in a number of ways. In fact, according to a study conducted by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), more than 95 percent of LASIK patients were satisfied with their results, and found the procedure so beneficial that they would recommend it to friends and relatives.

Some of the LASIK benefits that North Shore Eye Care’s Smithtown and Riverhead patients can experience include:

  • Improved vision. 98 percent of patients obtained 20/20 vision or better after LASIK surgery. In addition, night vision is often reported to be better after LASIK than with eyeglasses or contacts before surgery.
  • Freedom from eyeglasses or contacts. Patients do not feel tied down by a daily routine of inserting and removing contacts. They also no longer feel self-conscious about having to wear eyeglasses. The majority of LASIK patients can completely eliminate their use of corrective eyewear after surgery.
  • Cost-effective. Although LASIK surgery is often performed in less than a half hour, the results can last a lifetime. This eliminates the need to purchase replacement eyewear and also reduces the number of optometrist appointments needed.
  • Improved self-confidence Without the need to wear glasses or contacts, patients can be more confident in their vision, as well as their appearance. Corrective eyewear is often a source of insecurity for patients, and LASIK surgery can reduce or completely eliminate the need for lenses.
  • Immediate results. Patients who undergo LASIK surgery will experience a difference in their vision almost immediately after the procedure. LASIK surgery also requires little recovery or downtime. Even patients who have suffered from vision problems for decades can leave our Long Island practice with a brand new view of the world.
  • New Activities. Certain activities such as swimming and even traveling can be a hassle for patients who need protective eyewear. LASIK gives patients the chance to thoroughly enjoy all of the activities they love. It also opens the door to careers that require excellent vision such as photography, aviation, and law enforcement.
