Are you trying to find a good time to have LASIK? Are you tired of having dry eyes from wearing contact lenses?
Congratulations on making the decision to get LASIK eye surgery. This is a positive way to change your life forever!
Glasses and contact lenses can improve your vision, but they can also be a huge inconvenience. If you have ever thought about getting LASIK, now is the time.
When you are trying to select a time, it is best to schedule your surgery when you have a month to recover. You will have to avoid any activities that involve putting your head underwater for at least a month.
This means that scheduling your LASIK procedure in the middle of the summer is not a good plan. Getting LASIK later in the summer may get in the way of classic warm-weather activities.
Earlier in the summer, it is better since the weather is nicer, but it is not too hot. Think of how hot and humid it gets by July or August and then think about recovering after LASIK at that time. Keep reading for a few reasons why summer is a great time to get LASIK!
Warmer Temperatures
During the early summer months, the weather is warmer without being overly hot. You can be outside and enjoy activities without worrying about the heat.
Getting LASIK earlier in the summer means that you can enjoy swimming, sailing, hiking, and bonfires. The best part: you will be able to get your head wet when the weather gets unbearable.
During your recovery from LASIK, you can’t take part in any activities that are in the water for at least a month. This is why you need to plan when you’ll have the procedure carefully.
Of course, the actual best part of getting LASIK is saying goodbye to glasses and contacts for good. Summer activities are a lot more fun when you don’t need to worry about glasses breaking or contacts drying out.
Contact lenses are not a good option for improving your vision if you like water activities. Water can cause them to move around or fall out.
What’s even worse than water and contacts is sand and contact lenses. If you’ve ever gotten sand in your eyes while wearing contacts, you know it’s not fun. Getting LASIK early on in the summer means you don’t have to deal with contacts and sand any more.
Travel More Easily
Once summer hits, we start traveling more. It’s a great time for vacations, weddings, or even a quick weekend away.
If you have contact lenses or glasses, it can be hard to travel. You have to remember your glasses, contact solution, goggles, and more.
It would be nice to take a road trip with your friends and not worry about your glasses and contacts, wouldn’t it? Who wants to travel and spend the days before their trip stressing about having enough contacts?
It’s a sad reality for anyone that wears glasses or contacts, though. That’s what makes LASIK so great!
About a month after LASIK, you can swim, do activities with your kids, or even go windsurfing worry-free. Once you have LASIK, you no longer need to worry about losing your glasses or forgetting eye drops.
A Busy Social Calendar
During the summer, you may feel like you’re a lot busier. With weddings, BBQs, and dinners with friends, calendars book up fast.
You end up spending hours socializing and sometimes you run into people you have not seen in years. When this happens, you want to look your best.
LASIK lets you look your best and have fun at these events. During the summer, cameras and smartphones are always documenting what we’re doing. LASIK lets you enjoy social gatherings worry free!
