Why Not Make LASIK Your New Year’s Resolution?

Fun Fact: 79% of New Year's goals involve improving health.

New Years Resolution

Welcome to 2025! A new year and a new version of you are on the horizon. While many people are still deciding on their New Year’s resolutions—or have already abandoned them—you are among the 79% who prioritize health. Even more specifically, you’re considering LASIK.

What is LASIK?

LASIK is a laser eye surgery designed to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts, providing crisper, clearer vision. LASIK eye surgery focuses on correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and offers options for presbyopia.

The term itself can be used to describe in general all laser eye surgeries but it can also hone in specifically on the actual LASIK, Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), type procedure itself.

The surgery involves reshaping the cornea to allow light entering the eye to be properly focused onto the retina, resulting in clearer vision. The procedure is quick, typically completed within 10-15 minutes per eye, and most patients experience improved vision almost immediately.

Benefits of LASIK: See more clearly

Many people make New Year’s resolutions and how they can improve or simplify their lives in the upcoming new year.  Many of these resolutions revolve around improving yourself through a healthier, more active lifestyle, spending more time with family or saving money.

Laser eye surgery may be the answer to one or many of your resolutions. Imagine being able to go for a run without your glasses bouncing around on your face or playing a sport and not having to worry about sweat or dirt irritating your contacts. LASIK may be able to help make this a reality, and in turn, may make achieving your health and fitness goals for the New Year easier and more enjoyable.

Another common New Year’s resolution is the desire to spend less money. If you wear glasses or contacts, you know what an expense they can be yearly, not to mention over longer periods of time. Did you know that LASIK eye surgery may be able to save you money? With LASIK prices becoming more and more affordable, the onetime cost of a laser eye surgery procedure can actually save you money over time versus a lifetime of glasses and contacts.

  • Convenience: You can wake up with clear vision and not have to worry about glasses or contacts. 
  • Cost-effectiveness: LASIK can save you money over time compared to the cost of glasses and contacts. 
  • Health and hygiene: LASIK can reduce the risk of eye irritation, dryness, and infection. 
  • Improved quality of life: Without glasses or contacts, LASIK patients can enjoy activities like swimming, hiking, and playing sports more easily.
  • Long-term benefits: Many patients enjoy lasting visual improvement after LASIK.
  • Quick recovery: Most patients experience significant improvement in their vision within a few days of surgery and can resume normal activities within a week or two.
  • Self-confidence: Many people feel more confident after LASIK surgery. 

LASIK Results: New Year, New You

One of the major thoughts behind many New Year’s resolutions is a “new year, new me” mindset. What better way to achieve this than starting out the year with better vision? You might be worried that LASIK eye surgery has a lengthy and extensive recovery time, but this actually isn’t true. In fact, most people find recovery time to be very minimal, and most people are actually able to return to work and most normal activities within 2 days after their LASIK procedure.

Don’t let another year pass by experiencing life with blurry vision. If you think LASIK can help you achieve your resolutions in the New Year, consult a LASIK professional today to learn more and find out if laser eye surgery is right for you.

Why Choose LASIK in 2025?

The beginning of the year is an ideal time to consider LASIK for several reasons:

  • A Fresh Start: Clear vision can be the foundation for achieving your personal and professional goals in 2025.
  • Convenient Timing: The winter months often provide a more flexible schedule, allowing for a comfortable recovery period without missing significant events or obligations.
  • Maximize Financial Resources: If you have unused Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds, the start of the year is the perfect time to invest in LASIK

LASIK surgery offers a safe and effective way to achieve this goal, freeing you from the burden of glasses and contacts and empowering you to live your life to the fullest. As you plan your resolutions for 2025, consider the lasting benefits of LASIK eye surgery. By investing in your vision, you’re investing in a more active, confident, and financially sound future. Consult with a LASIK professional to explore how this procedure can help you achieve your goals for the new year.
