WHY LASER PROCEDURES
ARE INCREASINGLY COMMON

WHY LASER PROCEDURES
ARE INCREASINGLY COMMON

Home > Blog > Laser eye surgery

A number of trends emerged during the coronavirus pandemic, such as Zoom meetings and working from home. We have also noticed an upward trend in the number of patients requesting Lasik surgery to correct their eyesight. Here are the reasons why our patients undergo laser vision correction today.

3 Main Reasons for Lasik Eye Laser Surgery

1. Fogging up your glasses

Glasses wearers quickly noticed that wearing the mask for two years quickly fogged up the lenses. This condensation comes from the patient’s own breathing when wearing a mask. At a time in our history when health authorities were asking us not to touch our faces, this fog made many uncomfortable. Even though the mask requirement has been relaxed or even removed in most countries, many people still plan to wear masks indoors or in large crowds, and some even anticipate vaccine-resistant strains. Given that masks will most likely be in use for some time to come, the Lasik surgery is for many a very effective and safe way of eliminating the problem of foggy glasses.

2. Finally have the time to think about your health

The last two years have forced people to stay at home, so they’ve been spending much more time at home than usual. They had time to think about what they were missing, and some even considered what options they had to improve their eyesight once the pandemic was over. During the pandemic they made enquiries, and when the lockdown was over, they turned to expert Lasik ophthalmologists such as Dr Lamloum to discuss the procedure. Following Lasik procedures, the majority of patients say they should have made this choice earlier!
