The Benefits of LASIK
LASIK offers a long-term solution to most common vision problems, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism (blurry vision at all distances). It corrects the root of the refractive error by reshaping corneal tissue, which can reduce or even eliminate dependency on glasses and contacts. If you’re considering a vision correction procedure, it’s normal to wonder if the benefits of LASIK outweigh glasses and contacts.
At Lasik Vision Centers of Cleveland, we stand by our procedures and are confident you’ll love the results.

LASIK is proven to be safe and effective
LASIK is one of the safest and most commonly performed elective medical procedures available, speaking to its efficacy. Millions of LASIK procedures have been performed worldwide, and complications are very rare. Conversely, the satisfaction rate for LASIK is extremely high, with 96% of patients loving the visual results post-surgery.
Freedom from glasses and contacts
Most vision problems are caused by an abnormally shaped cornea, which prevents the eye from refracting light properly, leading to a blurry and/or distorted visual image. LASIK can correct this by reshaping the corneal tissue using a laser, making it possible to see clearly without glasses or contacts immediately after the surgery.
Imagine the freedom you’ll have without needing to rely on lenses to see clearly. You can wake up in the morning without having to find your glasses first thing, and you can go to sleep without having to remember to remove your contacts, which shows how LASIK can make every day easier.
LASIK saves you money
LASIK is a one-time investment in your future. It can actually save you money in the long-run by reducing or eliminating the costs associated with glasses and contacts, like lens solution or prescription sunglasses.
At Lasik Vision Centers of Cleveland, we don’t believe budget should be a barrier to clearer vision. That’s why we have a variety of flexible financing plans to make paying for a vision correction procedure easier.
LASIK is a long‑term solution
The results of LASIK are permanent in the sense that the corneal tissue doesn’t grow back once it’s been reshaped by the laser. Glasses and contacts are merely a short-term solution, as they can only improve vision while being worn. But LASIK is a long-term solution that can allow you to see clearly without relying on anything but your own eyes.
The procedure and recovery are usually quick
Another benefit of LASIK is how relatively simple it is. The procedure itself tends be short – it lasts for an average of 10 minutes with the laser used only for a few seconds on each eye. Most patients are surprised by how virtually painless the procedure is.
The recovery is also usually quick. Most patients are back to their normal routine within a day of the surgery and don’t need to take time off from work or school. The side effects after LASIK tend to be minimal, if at all, and complications are rare.
