Reading Glasses Vs Surgery

You have to rummage around for your reading glasses every time you want to read a restaurant menu, but should you choose surgery or stick with your reading glasses?

Some people consider it a huge inconvenience in life to have to look for reading glasses every time they spot something interesting in the paper, or every time they want to look at a restaurant menu.

Countless people will squint, struggle and stretch their arms so that the object is further away, and when they realise that their attempt has been futile, they finally surrender to their reading glasses. But why do people do this? Is is really that much of an inconvenience? Surely, it’s no different to re-applying lipstick in the afternoon or adjusting your belt after a big lunch?

Can the “inconvenience” of reading glasses really sway people to undergo expensive laser eye surgery? Some people in the UK consider reading glasses to be an enviable fashion item and would never opt for surgery over their well-designed, funky and fashionable reading glasses.

Laser Eye Surgery Pros

If you’ve ever watched a laser eye surgery procedure, you will know that it doesn’t look too comfortable for the patient. But the treatment is virtually painless and although 20/20 vision can not be guaranteed, almost all patients who undergo surgery can say goodbye to their distance or reading glasses forever.

Laser eye surgery takes immediate effect so as soon as the procedure is over, you should be able to notice an improvement in your eyesight. The immediate improvement has been known to overwhelm patients with happiness, so the rewards can be extremely high.

Laser Eye Surgery Cons

The risks of laser eye surgery are not always highlighted to patients and experts have warned that people should find out about the risks before they chuck in their old reading glasses to go under the knife.

Although health risks are low for laser eye surgery, rare cases can lead to corneal ectasia – this is where fluid pressure builds up on the eye and a corneal transplant will then be needed to correct the condition. Other patients may also experience dry eyes or night vision problems. So if you are considering laser eye surgery, don’t throw away your reading glasses just yet.
