Increasing Trend: Parents Advocate for LASIK for Their Children
Summary
Parents naturally worry about their children's health and well-being. Tammy Crane, however, decided to take proactive steps to ease her concerns for her 21-year-old son, Garrett, by opting for LASIK surgery to eliminate his need for contact lenses.Article
Concerned parents are increasingly considering LASIK surgery for their children who wear contact lenses. Tammy Crane, mother of Garrett, decided to take action to reduce their shared worries. She encouraged Garrett to undergo LASIK, freeing him from contacts.
"Garrett used to break his glasses frequently and always wanted trendy ones. He also went through contacts like they were nothing," Tammy explains.
Ophthalmologists report a rise in parents urging young adults to opt for LASIK, mainly due to the financial benefits. Contact lenses can cost up to $600 annually, while glasses might be over $1,200 a pair. Since male eyes mature by age 21 and female eyes by 18, young adults getting LASIK in their early 20s will likely recover their costs before turning 30. The procedure can last up to 30 years, offering significant savings compared to ongoing expenses for contacts and glasses.
Tammy, thrilled with her own LASIK results, wanted the same for Garrett. "I had LASIK four years ago and it was life-changing. I knew Garrett would benefit for even longer. Plus, he wasn’t careful with his contacts, and I worried about infections."
LASIK also alleviates concerns about poor contact lens hygiene. Tammy recalls Garrett’s careless habits: "He stored contacts in glasses of water, and his cases were filthy. He rarely changed the solution, leading to minor infections."
For Garrett, the choice was clear?"they opted for the advanced LASIK with the IntraLase Method. Dr. Daniel Durrie, who performed Garrett's surgery, said, "This method typically achieves better than 20/20 vision and is blade-free, reducing serious complications associated with traditional methods."
The IntraLase Method’s safety reassured parents like Tammy, boosting their confidence in LASIK for their children.
Now, Garrett enjoys life without contacts, diving into hobbies like canoeing and jet skiing. "It's awesome," he shares. "I can open my eyes underwater and see clearly. It's amazing."
Parents concerned about infections and expenses are increasingly turning to LASIK, particularly with the advanced IntraLase method.
