About half of the world’s population suffers from a vision problem. With advancements in technology, there’s no shortage of ways to correct your vision. While glasses seem to be the default option in most cases, there are other ways such as contacts or laser eye surgery.
In recent years, there have been many advancements in laser eye surgery. Most of these vision correction surgeries involve reshaping the cornea to help the eyes focus light accurately on the retina. LASIK eye surgery, for instance, involves reshaping the tissue underneath the cornea by making an incision in the cornea to create a flap. On the other hand, LASEK does not require cutting of the cornea.
Most jobs in the world do not require perfect vision, although clear vision would make it easier to do the work effectively and efficiently.
LASIK surgery is not only for aesthetic purposes like so many people believe. It can have practical and safety considerations as well. A good example is people who love to play sports. Having perfect vision will give professional and amateur athletes a powerful advantage.
