Great Vision to Celebrate Life’s Milestones
Published by on June 29, 2017
This time of year, many young adults celebrate a special life milestone, graduating from college. It is a perfect time for the graduate or their families to consider making a long-term investment in the graduate’s quality of life with the gift of laser vision correction surgery, such as LASIK.
LASIK makes good sense for several reasons at this stage of life. Completing college signals a young adult’s readiness to be more independent. Many want to feel more confident by changing their look or image as they begin post-graduate work or enter the workforce. One great way to do that is to shed their reliance on glasses or contact lenses. LASIK also can provide your graduate with the visual freedom he or she wants to confidently head out into the world.
And while the cost of LASIK may seem like a big investment, actually it is a financially sound choice when you consider the expense of an approximate 20 years investing in eyeglasses, prescription sunglasses, contact lenses, solution, and broken frames. It adds up!
Many graduates immediately celebrate their big achievement by embarking on a trip or adventure. No matter the destination, there’s nothing like seeing the world unencumbered by corrective lenses. Even everyday, little details will surprise and delight. Having great vision enhances the enjoyment of a trip.
Many graduates also soon embark on their career, taking their first job. While some careers demand excellent vision (law enforcement, first responders or EMTs), most individuals simply want to be able to move through their workdays without glasses or contacts getting in the way. For most during this time of their life, they are not only working hard, but playing hard. Removing the wear, care and worry of lenses is a real benefit.
There is no question that clear vision, without the need for glasses or contacts, offers young adults many benefits as they begin their life of independence. If you want to give the gift of improved vision to a loved one, or if you are ready to enjoy the freedom of life without glasses or contacts yourself, let’s make it happen!
