Nedlands, Western Australia -- (SBWire) -- 06/16/2015 --An increase in people needing corrective lenses, and requiring them at a younger age, has led to several studies regarding this issue. Study results indicate the many hours people are spending staring at electronic devices has had a negative effect on vision. Since it is highly unlikely anyone will abandon their technology anytime soon, WA Laser Eye Centre has launched a campaign, urging everyone to learn more about the benefits laser eye procedures have to offer.
Dr. Robert Paul, the principal surgeon at the clinic is enthusiastic about how their work can make it easier for people to have the best eyesight possible. "There are enormous downfalls to both glasses and contact lenses. Glasses fog up in humid environments or when going between warm and cool temperatures. They are also inconvenient for athletes and do nothing to correct peripheral vision. Contacts can lead to eye irritation and infections if they are not properly cared for. They often dry out the eyes and are uncomfortable once the wearer becomes tired."
The benefit of Lasik and other laser eye procedures according to Dr. Paul is that those who have the surgery will often have better eyesight than what is possible with either form of corrective lens. They save themselves time and money because they are not always needing to buy new lenses and never have to worry about finding their glasses or putting in contacts when they get up in the morning or if they need to get out of bed in the middle of the night.
"Not everyone is able to get 20/20 vision with laser eye surgery and some will not be a candidate for the surgery at all." Dr. Paul stated, "In some cases people will still need to wear reading glasses following surgery, but will be able to live the rest of their lives free of the burden of poor eyesight. This surgery is faster, safer and more effective than it has ever been and in our experience, those who undergo the surgery have no regrets."
Dr. Paul and everyone at the Laser Eye Centre want to remind anyone interested in these procedures that it will not prevent eyes from aging. "Eventually everyone reaches a point where reading glasses become a necessity, and there is no surgery that will prevent that. However, our surgeries still improve quality of life and keep vision stronger than it would have been without it." The centre is urging people to contact them for a consultation to learn About WA Laser Eye Centre as well as discover the type of laser surgery that offers them the most promising outcome.
