Sanya Lopez Better Vision, Better Actress | Shinagawa Feature Story

Sanya Lopez: Better Vision, Better Actress

Sanya Lopez emphasized the difficulties she encountered in acting and in life when she had poor eyesight.

According to her, having blurry vision prior to having LASIK wasn’t exactly the easiest of times.

“As an actress, it really is difficult having poor eyesight. I find it tough to quickly recognize people I encounter every day that’s why I always needed to wear glasses or contacts,” shared Sanya.

“During tapings, I find it really hard to act well with contact lenses on, especially in crying scenes. Even in hosting jobs, it was hard for me to read the spiels. At the same time, I was also unable to fully appreciate the wonderful views when traveling abroad.”

Feeling the everyday challenges of having a blurry vision became too much of an inconvenience for her, prompting her to go to Shinagawa to seek a better quality of life.

“The hardest part for me was everything was slowed down because of my eyes and vision. That’s why I’m very happy that I found out about Shinagawa Lasik Center. LASIK was life-changing!”

Sanya now shares her astounding vision after LASIK and wants more people to experience the same comfort that she experiences now.

“Now, I have a 20/10 vision! And now, I can finally see the world clearly! So for those who have blurry vision, this is it! I promise you, your vision will be very bright!”

What LASIK Can Do For Your Astigmatism

Sharp, clear vision enables a person to see the beauty of life and the world at their best. Unfortunately, there are some eye issues and conditions that prohibit one from having clear eyesight. One is astigmatism.

Astigmatism is just one of the conditions that can block clear vision, and this condition is incredibly common.

Fortunately, astigmatism can be corrected by LASIK. For good.

Most people who have LASIK for vision issues caused by astigmatism and other related issues are satisfied with the scintillating results delivered.

LASIK Is Successful For Astigmatism

People who have LASIK for vision problems caused by astigmatism can see better after the procedure.

Studies and evident results across the world show that LASIK is both safe and effective in people who were severely nearsighted and had high levels of astigmatism. At the end of the surgery, patients could see clearly.

Additional research suggests that the type of LASIK surgery performed can have an impact on how well the surgery seems to work.

Contact Lens Fears Foggy Glasses LASIK Solutions During the Pandemic | Shinagawa Blog

Contact Lens Fears, Foggy Glasses: LASIK Solutions During the Pandemic

Lots of Filipinos are dealing with vision correction issues during this pandemic that we are in.

You may have foggy glasses from wearing masks. You could have concerns about putting in contacts every day when the word has gone out not to even touch your face without careful hand washing.

Adjusting to these new issues can be an annoyance, but also a safety hazard if you’re not getting the full benefit of your vision correction.

What are your options to make sure you can safely see well? The best eye doctors at Shinagawa have an idea for you.

LASIK for Vision Care Issues, Pandemic and Beyond
Contact lens wear now requires extremely careful sanitary practices, always advisable but now a critical concern. Switching to glasses seems simple but with masks, your warm breath is directed over the lenses, producing fogging which is especially bad when the air is cold outside or indoors with air conditioning. There is a simple solution: LASIK, a simple form of refractive laser surgery that corrects the vision problem at the eye itself.

Once LASIK surgery eliminates the need for contacts or glasses, you don’t have to adjust when you’re putting on masks or goggles, using face shields, or looking through eyepieces of cameras, rifle scopes, and microscopes. Laboratory workers who protect their eyes in hazardous environments have known for years that LASIK is an excellent solution to infection control.

LASIK Surgery Has Helped Millions of People Already

The problems we’re encountering these days aren’t new for many people. Removing concerns about glasses and contacts helps keep eyes free of chemical harm and accidental infection from workplace hazards. Even at home, wearing contacts while working with chemicals is a risky idea since they reduce the eye’s ability to clean itself of chemicals.

Glasses can be tricky to use when climbing ladders and working on the roof or in other situations where vision needs to be stable. At work, vision correction often requires special adaptation, from watching computer displays to dealing with the reflective problems of wearing glasses on set as a TV presenter.

If You Haven’t Considered LASIK Before

If you’re used to your glasses or contacts and haven’t considered LASIK surgery, this may be your opportunity. Think about how your corrective lenses affect your daily life, from groping on the side table in the morning to find glasses, to the old familiar lost contact.

You may face issues like wearing contacts in the cold or in windy weather, where they can be uncomfortable as they float less freely on your eye. Skiing with glasses can be a challenge, and swimming, of course, presents many challenges for glasses and contact lens wearers.

LASIK surgery is a solution for many to the present problems of the pandemic, and a benefit that will last far beyond current concerns. Call the best LASIK center in the country to talk about how it can work for you.
