Ditching glasses and contact lenses is not just about vision and eye health, but changing a lifestyle. In this day and age of technology, I (who once wore glasses) am of the firm belief that technology’s advances should be embraced in the medical field.

Glasses and contact lenses are increasingly becoming a thing of the past, as they should. And it's all thanks to lasers. Pacific ClearVision Institute offers this life-changing surgery.

Recent surveys conducted by the NIH showed that minimally invasive procedures such as LASIK lead to greater patient satisfaction when compared to contact lenses.

Here are some key points on why you should consider laser treatment if you are suffering from astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness:

Say Goodbye to Glasses, Hello to Freedom Picture this: no more squinting in the mist, no more hunting for your glasses before that epic hike. LASIK treatments can give you the freedom to embrace every Oregon moment without vision-related hassle.

Seeing is Believing: LASIK Safety Check You wouldn't trust just anyone with your eyes. I wouldn’t either. Safety first, right? LASIK is no exception. Before you dive into the Oregon trail of clear vision, the practice’s specialists will make sure your eyes are good to go. It's like a pit stop for your peepers – quick, thorough, and all about ensuring a smooth ride ahead.

The LASIK Experience: Quick, Painless, and Life-Changing One of the most appealing aspects of LASIK is its efficiency. The procedure is quick, often taking just minutes per eye, and is virtually painless. With most patients experiencing improved vision almost immediately, LASIK offers a swift and life-changing experience, allowing you to return to your routine with minimal downtime.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about the preparation and what the procedure actually entails.

A full eye examination is necessary before the procedure - and it may include a slit-lamp exam, dry eye evaluation, and other types of tests.

During the procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct the refraction problems. In the majority of cases, this correction lasts for a lifetime.

Besides the well-known benefits of laser surgery, such as immediate vision correction, continued advances in laser technology also mean that the procedure is becoming safer and more effective.

About Pacific ClearVision Institute Based in Eugene, Oregon, Pacific ClearVision Institute employs ophthalmologists and laser surgeons with decades of experience in treating refractive errors, cataracts, and other illnesses of the eye. The practice also has an office in Cottage Cove for post-operative care and refractive surgery evaluations.

A satisfied patient said: “ClearVision’s team really took the time to thoroughly examine and evaluate my eyes prior to discussing my options. They presented them including the risks and benefits of each. Their approach set me at ease. I am very happy with my results and follow-up. I just wish I’d done it sooner.”
