Top 5 Reasons Not To Wait For Vision Correction

Published by Lance Kugler, MD on July 11, 2017

Vision correction is a transformational service we offer through an unparalleled patient experience and with world-class continuing vision care. Kugler Vision in Omaha is about more than simply correcting vision – we care about how our patients live and interact with the world around them.

When you partner with us for your eye health, vision care, and vision correction needs, your priorities become our priorities. We care about your hobbies, dreams, and job requirements. It is our passion to help you achieve your goals, so you can live a lifestyle free from visual barriers.

Vision Correction At Any Stage of Life

At every stage of life, we offer vision correction solutions to allow our patients to live a life without visual barriers. We feel deeply that the transformational experience of vision correction allows you to be more yourself than ever – your best and happiest self, with the clear and precise vision you were always meant to have. Below are 5 reasons why you shouldn’t wait to have vision correction to help you see clearly without the need for glasses, reading glasses, contacts or bifocals.

1. Enjoy the Small Details – Improve Everyday Vision

Have you started to experience changes to your near vision? Maybe you’ve gotten by with glasses and contacts for years, but all of a sudden you are having a hard time reading:

• Restaurant menus
• Text messages
• The car dashboard
• Computer screens
• Your watch

Now, you find yourself relying on bifocals or reading glasses in order to do simple daily tasks that you have taken for granted. With one vision correction procedure, you can regain your clear vision and improve your lifestyle.

2. Prevent Future Development of Cataracts  

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a long term vision correction solution that replaces your lens, thus preventing the future development of cataracts. Needless to say, after RLE, you can experience a life independent from the hassles of glasses, reading glasses, contacts and bifocals. No more worrying about where you left your reader or how you look in them. No more worrying about developing cataracts.

3. Regain Your Independence – Say Goodbye to Glasses, Reading glasses, Contacts, and Bifocals

Vision correction can:

• Help you to see both near and far without depending on reading glasses or bifocals
• Reduce astigmatism
• Correct myopia (nearsightedness)
• Correct hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Correct Stage 1 DLS (presbyopia, difficulty reading)

4. Already had Vision Correction Years Ago? Don’t Worry, It Didn’t Wear Off.

If you already had a vision correction procedure, like LASIK, it is important to know that it didn’t “wear off”. LASIK changes the shape of the cornea, which is the clear outer structure of the eye. This change to the cornea is permanent. Many people are confused when, after years of clear vision following vision correction, they find themselves needing reading glasses. They may even mistakenly believe that their LASIK  has worn off.

As aging occurs, whether a person has had LASIK vision correction or not, changes in the internal lens of the eye begin to occur, causing frustrating changes in near vision. Most begin to experience near vision changes in their mid 40s. These lens changes are not related to or caused by LASIK vision correction. Kugler Vision offers many solutions to address the unique needs of vision after 40. If you are finding yourself having trouble with your vision, we have a vision correction solution for you!

5. There Has Never Been a Better Time for Vision Correction

Many people initially say “there are so many procedures and lens options, wearing bifocals and reading glasses is easier than figuring out which one is best for me.” But have no fear! At a Kugler Vision consultation, you will benefit from the most advanced diagnostic analysis of your visual system available in the country– the EyeAnalysisTM eye assessment. You will meet with a Kugler Vision doctor,  Lance Kugler, MD or Mollie Myers, OD. The doctor will examine your eyes and then recommend the best procedure and lens based on your unique eyes and lifestyle. It has never been a better time to have vision correction!    

Do. Not. Wait!
