Vision
with Laser Vision Correction after Wearing Soft Contacts
If you
wear soft contact lenses and been thinking about LASIK you know the benefit of
not having to wear eyeglasses for seeing clearly at distance. But, you may
wonder how well LASIK will correct your vision. Another common question is how
long you may have to go without wearing your contacts before you can have LASIK,
and will that change your results. A
recent Study
reported in the journal of the British Contact Lens Association, Contact
Lenses & Anterior Eye compared
the vision results of soft contact lens wearers with both LASIK and PRK among
groups of people who had stopped wearing their soft contacts for 2 weeks before
their laser vision correction, others 24 hours before laser vision correction
and those who didn’t wear contact lenses at all prior to laser vision
correction.
Results of Laser Vision Correction Compared
to Soft Contact Lenses
The patients who had stopped wearing their
contacts 2 weeks before having laser eye surgery to correct nearsightedness,
vision without glasses was significantly better at one month, and at six months
after having laser vision correction was even better than those who had never
worn contacts, but only glasses!
