LASIK & Contact Lenses, Which Is Right For You?

If I Wear Contact Lenses, How Should I Make the Decision to Have LASIK?

As you can see from the previous information, there are a number of considerations you must address. However, the biggest considerations are in the areas of understanding the risks of surgery as compared to contact lenses. As relayed above, the risks of Extended Wear contact lenses that meet the convenience and lifestyle factors of LASIK, may not be trivial.


Ask yourself the following questions about your contact lenses:

  1. Can you wear your contact lenses, each and every day for as long as you would like comfortably?

  2. Are there times after wearing your contact lenses for the entire day, that you just can't wait to get them out?

  3. Do you wish that you just open your eyes and see the alarm clock and get to the bathroom without looking for your glasses?

  4. Do you sometimes take a nap or even sleep in your contact lenses even though you know that it is really not safe?

  5. Do you swim, or go in hot tubs or spas, while wearing your lenses even though you know this predisposes you to infection?

  6. Do you have to instill lubricating or moisture drops to be able to wear your lenses as long as you need to?

  7. After wearing your contact lenses for the entire day, do your eyes get red and irritated and need eye drops to "take the red out" or soothe them?

If any of these questions make you stop and think about your own contact lens wearing experiences, then maybe you are not as successful and happy a contact lens wearer as you thought.
