LASIK vs. Contact Lenses: Which Is Riskier? | Shinagawa Blog

LASIK vs. Contact Lenses: Which Is Riskier?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Because contact lenses are so commonly used, many people assume that they are always safe. While contacts can surely give you visual benefits, they can sometimes put your eyes in danger as well, especially if they are contaminated.

That’s why over the years, more and more eye professionals and people with blurry vision highly recommend having LASIK to eliminate the hassles and risks of constantly wearing contact lenses.

Studies worldwide show that aside from giving brighter eyesight in a snap, LASIK is safer to your eyes than a contact lens.

The review of the medical literature indicated that:

  • Use of any non-daily disposable contact for 1 year appears to be associated with 3 times the risk of having a bacterial infection in the cornea compared with LASIK.
  • Even the use of daily disposable contact lenses for 5 years appears to be associated with 3 times the risk of having a bacterial infection in the cornea compared with LASIK.
  • The use of daily disposable contact lenses for 1 year is not statistically different in bacterial infection risk from LASIK!

What does this tell us? The proof is in the data and studies!

We knew daily disposables would eliminate the risk of infection compared to non-disposable contact lenses, however, when compared to LASIK, infection is up with the contact lenses.

Many of our patients share that when debating whether to go for LASIK, they think about comparing the disadvantages and advantages with their current vision correction choice – which for many is Contact Lenses.

We are happy to talk with you about your concerns and offer some insights on LASIK!

She also shared just how difficult her life was with poor vision before having LASIK.

Why Not Make LASIK Your New Year’s Resolution | Shinagawa Blog

Why Not Make LASIK Your New Year’s Resolution?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Constantly struggling with contacts? Are you tired of waking up in a blurry room? Would you like to be less dependent on eyeglasses in the New Year?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it may be time for you to consider LASIK eye surgery.

Benefits of LASIK

Many people make New Year’s resolutions and how they can improve or simplify their lives in the upcoming New Year. Many of these resolutions revolve around improving yourself through a healthier, more active lifestyle, spending more time with family, or saving money.

Laser eye surgery may be the answer to one or many of your resolutions. Imagine being able to go for a run without your glasses bouncing around on your face or playing a sport and not having to worry about sweat or dirt irritating your contacts. LASIK may be able to help make this a reality, and in turn, may make achieving your health and fitness goals for the New Year easier and more enjoyable.

Another common New Year’s resolution is the desire to spend less money. If you wear glasses or contacts, you know what an expense they can be yearly, not to mention over longer periods of time. Did you know that LASIK eye surgery may be able to save you money?

The one-time cost of LASIK can actually save you money over time versus a lifetime of glasses and contacts.

Reasons Why LASIK Will Help Your New Years Resolutions For 2022 | Shinagawa Blog

Reasons Why LASIK Will Help Your New Year’s Resolutions For 2022

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s yet another New Year and it’s already 2022!

For many, it’s a time when they will make resolutions to improve their lives in the year ahead.

But let’s face it: New Year’s resolutions can be hard to stick to. It’s one thing to say you’re going to be healthier and happier and another to follow through and actually put the work into changing your lifestyle.

But there are a lot of ways you can help yourself. One way is by improving your vision with LASIK.

It’s a wonderful change that can make the biggest difference!

Keep reading to see the reasons why LASIK can help you fulfill all kinds of New Year’s resolutions you may have.

1. Enhance Your Productivity

Everyone always wants to be more productive, whether it’s with work or with personal projects. It may not seem like it, but LASIK can actually make you more productive.

When you can see better, you can do more, especially when it comes to tasks that need a keen eye. Perfect examples include redecorating or remodeling your home.

Then there’s all the time you spend changing your contacts and needing to adjust them during the day when they start to irritate your eyes. It may only be a few minutes every day, but that adds up.

If you work on a computer all day, wearing contacts can dry out your eyes. This can even contribute to Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS.

CVS can cause headaches and pain, making it that much harder to work. With LASIK, you can feel more comfortable while saving time, letting you work harder without sacrificing your health.

Not only that, but you can even save money in the long term. If LASIK seems too expensive to fit into your budget, consider this.

Most people pay off the cost of the procedure after about two years. You’ll also save money because you’ll no longer need to pay for glasses, contacts, or any of their accessories. You also don’t have to worry about surprise expenses like needing replacement glasses.

2. Travel with Ease

One common resolution is to travel more and be more adventurous. But even something as simple as worrying about glasses and contacts can make travel so much more stressful than it needs to be.

This is especially true if you’re camping or saving money by using hostels. Changing out contacts without a sanitary place to do so can leave your eyes irritated and prone to infection.

And glasses can get lost or broken while you’re far away from someplace to get them replaced. All this can be a problem of the past with LASIK.

Why not give yourself peace of mind and go see the world without worries about glasses or contacts?

3. Be More Active

What better way is there to get healthy than to get plenty of exercises? Exercising can feel like a chore when you stick to the treadmill or exercise bike.

Switch up activities by taking up new sports, or go hiking! It’s a lot easier to be flexible in the kind of exercises you can do when you don’t have to worry about contacts and glasses.

Have you never been able to get into swimming because you can’t see underwater even when you have goggles on? With LASIK, that’s no longer an issue.

Neither is all the protective gear you need for more intense sports. Get fit with an improved vision from LASIK!

Getting LASIK is a long-term investment in your future career and finance. And improving your life and career is the perfect way to meet your New Year’s resolutions!

Ready to find out if LASIK could be right for you? Schedule your LASIK screening at Shinagawa now!

Why not make 2022 the year you finally have a 20/20 vision or even better?
