Why do people have LASIK surgery?

Research has shown that there are four main reasons that people choose to have LASIK. They are:

• Life simplification: no longer having to deal with glasses or contact lenses
  
• Independence: Freedom from dependence on glasses and or contact lenses
• Performance: Ability to perform better in sports-related activities
  
• Ability to see 24/7 when it counts: Better vision for all occasions (e.g., at a play or evening out or at the beach or water sports)
