Leave the Stress Behind – Along with Your Specs!

If you’re one of the millions of people in the UK who still rely on glasses to correct their refractive errors, you will undoubtedly be aware of the stress that specs can cause. For many, they are considered the better option compared with contact lenses – whether you find contacts too pricey, uncomfortable, unsuitable, or simply too time-consuming. Yet, the many flaws of glasses can mean they end up being just as irksome. So, perhaps it’s time to do away with the stress altogether!

The Countless Stresses of Specs

Just think of all the times your glasses have gotten in your way. Whether you had just walked into your warm office only for your specs to instantly fog up. Not only can you now not see where you’re going, but a colleague probably made a “humourous” comment, too. You take them off to wipe the lenses but end up smearing the condensation around. Oh well, you can give them a proper clean later when they inevitably become dirty…

Or perhaps you’ve been putting off buying a pair of new glasses due to the cost. Your current frames no longer fit properly and are causing discomfort at the pressure points on your nose and the sides of your head. You remove them regularly to relieve the discomfort only to be left with red marks where the frames have been pinching your nose. Well, at least soon you will be able to go through the ordeal of selecting a new pair that suits you and your style – it’s not like they’ll be scratched before you know it…

They are the source of all kinds of frustrations – and we haven’t even covered the risk of losing, breaking, or forgetting them! Yet, for many, contact lenses simply aren’t an option. This can make it seem like glasses are their only choice. But is this really the case? Well, no!

Discover A Better Alternative

The fact is, many people can be (and have been) freed from the stresses of both glasses and contact lenses. In fact, Laser Eye Surgery has helped millions of people in the UK alone rid themselves of glasses for good! And the chances are, it could help you do the same.

By correcting your refractive error at its source, Laser Eye Surgery can remove the need for external visual aids. Our expert surgeons employ high-precision lasers to permanently reshape your eyes, changing the way light hits the retina. This technique can be used to correct long-sightedness (hyperopia), short-sightedness (myopia), astigmatism, and even presbyopia (ageing vision)!

After a simple, low-risk procedure, and a short recovery period, all of your previous problems could be over.  After Laser Eye Surgery, specs wearers can finally enjoy the freedom of clear, smudge-free, and frustration-free vision.
