If you wear contacts and are considering LASIK but have not yet joined over one million people who have LASIK each year you may be interested to learn that contacts may not be the safest choice for correcting your vision.

A study reported in the October 2006 journal Archives of Ophthalmology looked at the safety of contact lenses when compared to LASIK and the findings were astounding. The author, William Mathers, MD, who specializes in treating serious eye infection, estimates that over time the risk of significant vision loss is fiver times higher with contact lenses (due to infection) than with laser vision correction. What's more, according to the study author, the risk with contact lenses "remain even when the wearer does everything right."

Although both options are safe and risks are small, we invite you to come in for a free consultation to discuss what is the best option for your vision.

HOW LASIK CHANGED MY LIFE

"What an amazing experience this has been—no more glasses or contacts! I am so glad that I finally got LASIK done after more than a few years of dealing with contacts and glasses. I still can't believe that I can see now!!! Thanks to everyone at LaserVue."

"I've been wearing glasses and contacts since I was in the 7th grade and the idea of not having to take out my contacts every night or being able to actually see the alarm in the morning & even traveling without my glasses seemed so hard to believe. After my surgery and being able to do all of that is simply amazing! I would recommend LaserVue to anyone intersted in LASIK surgery!"

"About a year ago I decided to have LASIK to correct my vision. Because of my career as a firefighter, having to wear eyeglasses was a constant hassle. I contacted LaserVue to educate myself about LASIK and learned how it would help with my situation. I would strongly recommend anyone to have this procedure done."
