See the World More Clearly with Laser Eye Surgery

For many of us, travelling is one of the most joyful parts of life – whether it’s heading off on a sun-soaked holiday by the sea, a sightseeing trip to a medieval city, or a once-in-a-lifetime trek around the world. But what good is it going to all these places if you can’t really see them?

While we might have the photos to prove we were there, countless things can get in the way of us enjoying the moment and seeing these magnificent sights in all their glory. It might be your partner complaining about their aching feet, or the distraction of your hunger after a long day of sightseeing. Or, if you are unfortunate enough to have poor eyesight, your glasses or contact lenses.

Let’s say you were heading out on a night-time excursion to see the natural wonder that is the Northern Lights. You wouldn’t want thick lenses or frames obstructing your view of what is arguably one of the most dramatic sights in the world, would you? Or to be caught short by irritation or dryness caused by those pesky contact lenses! With something as elusive as the Aurora Borealis, you want to make sure you are in a position to see them as clearly as possible – should you be lucky enough to see them at all!

Enjoy the sights with crystal clear vision

For those of us unlucky enough to be burdened by an unwavering reliance on glasses or contact lenses, it can be hard to imagine the possibility of enjoying clear, unrestricted vision. And yet, with the help of Laser Eye Surgery, you could have exactly that.

Unlike external visual aids that temporarily correct your hyperopia (long-sightedness), myopia (short-sightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia, Laser Eye Surgery corrects your refractive error at the source.

By harnessing the power of ultra-precision lasers, our expert surgeons are able to correct the way your eyes process light. This is done by reshaping the cornea (the clear dome on the front of your eye) which adjusts the way light is refracted through the pupil and onto the retina at the back of the eye.

There are three Laser Eye Surgery procedures to be aware of: PRK/LASEK (the surface procedures), LASIK (the most common procedure), and ReLEx SMILE (the latest innovation).

 

 

And while we’re at it, for an all-round sensory experience and the ultimate in visual fodder, you’ll want to pay a visit to the Iguassu Falls on the border of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. With two hundred and seventy-five separate falls, and at a size wider than Victoria and taller than Niagara, this is one of those sights that need to be seen — with your best vision — to be believed. I don’t need to tell you how vision correction equipment could get in the way of you enjoying this one.
