Contact Lens Intolerance and LASIK Vision Correction

It is true that people who are life-long wearers of contact lenses may be damaging their eyes. That is because no matter how “oxygen-permeable” a lens is designed to be, less oxygen reaches the cornea when a lens is present on the eye, period.

One potential problem from long-term contact lens usage is the growth of abnormal new blood vessels due to the restriction of oxygen to the eye surface. Other more common side effects to lens usage are dryness, irritation and itchiness. Contact lenses are not recommended for people who are predisposed to dry eyes or infections.

What does this mean in terms of the benefits of Blade-Free LASIK vision correction at Viso Lasik Medspas? It means the complete absence of any short or long-term risks involved with the daily use of contact lenses. Your dependence on contact lenses for corrected vision ends the day your LASIK vision correction procedure is performed.
