regular overnight wear of modern soft contact lenses is, with the proper lenses and regular quality professional care, a very safe alternative.

Unlike Lasik a contacts prescription can easily be changed over the years. While the odds are good with surgery, the cost of failure is off the charts. For conservative me, no thanks.

This is an interesting phenomenon, I have to deal with nearly every day.

Lasik does not in any way slow down or stop natural changes, that tend to accelerate with age, in one’s prescription.

Yet patients who have undergone the expense and often the angst involved in Lasik surgery, are suddenly willing to accept compromises in their vision that they would never have considered acceptable with spectacle or contact lens correction.

With Lasik outcomes, there is a huge amount of the self-fulfilling prophecy phenomenon.
