Many trends emerged during the coronavirus pandemic, such as Zoom meetings and remote work. We also noticed an increasing number of patients requesting LASIK surgery to correct their vision. We present the reasons that motivated our patients who underwent laser vision correction.
3 Main Reasons for LASIK Laser Surgery
1. Fogging on glasses
People who wear glasses quickly noticed that wearing masks over the past two years rapidly caused their lenses to fog up. This condensation comes from the wearer’s own breathing. At a time in our history when health authorities were asking us not to touch our faces, this fogging made many uncomfortable. Even though mask mandates have been relaxed or even abolished in most countries, many people are still considering wearing masks indoors or in large crowds, and some are even anticipating vaccine-resistant strains. Given that masks will most likely remain in use for some time, LASIK is a very effective and safe way to eliminate the problem of foggy glasses.
2. Finally having the time to think and reflect on one’s health
The past two years have forced people to stay home, and as a result, they spent much more time there than usual. This gave them time to reflect on what they were missing, and some even considered their options for improving their vision once the pandemic was over. During the pandemic, they researched their options, and then, once the lockdown ended, they consulted ophthalmologists specializing in LASIK, such as Dr. Lamloum, to discuss the procedure. Following their LASIK surgeries, the majority of patients say they should have made this choice sooner!
