Free Of Glasses For Graduation: Laser Eye Surgery Improves Your University Experience

How Does The Quality Of Your Vision Affect Life At School?

Good vision is integral to a smooth and enjoyable university experience, playing a vital role in both academic success and the vibrant social life that comes with being a student. From deciphering tiny texts on lecture slides to spotting friends across a crowded campus, clear eyesight keeps everything running seamlessly.

On the flip side, poor vision can turn everyday tasks into a struggle: imagine squinting at a blurry whiteboard, dealing with glasses that fog up in the rain, or grappling with contact lenses that dry out during late-night study sessions. These hassles can sap your energy and focus, making an already demanding environment even more overwhelming.

The Challenges Of Wearing Glasses And Contact Lenses For Everyday Activities

For young people, wearing glasses or contact lenses can turn routine activities into a constant battle, whether you’re sweating it out on the field, jetting off on a spontaneous trip, or grinding through an all-night gaming session. These vision aids come with several frustrations that can feel like a leash on your freedom. Here’s why they can be such a bummer:

1. Fogging: Glasses fog up at the worst times. Think sweaty pickup basketball games, chilly early-morning commutes to class, or stepping off a plane into humid air. That steamy blur can throw you off balance and disrupt your concentration.
2. Injury Risks: A rogue elbow in a casual football match or a clumsy moment at a crowded party can shatter your glasses or knock a contact lens loose, putting your eyes at risk. It’s a safety hazard no one needs.
3. Infection Worries: Between dusty environments, late-night study snacks, and sweaty post-gym hangouts, contacts make your eyes a magnet for grime and bacteria. You find yourself having to think a lot about cleaning your contacts, for fear of infection.
4. Travel and Adventures: From dealing with misplaced glasses to keeping contact lenses clean on the go, maintaining good vision while travelling can be a frustrating task. Whether you’re hiking, swimming, or sightseeing, wearing corrective eyewear adds an extra layer of discomfort to the experience.
5. Social Life and Everyday Convenience: Whether it's wearing 3D glasses at the movies, struggling with rain-splattered lenses, or dealing with smudges and constant adjustments, glasses can be a nuisance. Contact lenses require careful hygiene and maintenance, making them an additional chore to manage.
6. Constant Replacement and Piling Costs: Shattered frames from a wild night out, lost lenses on a weekend trip, or scratched glasses from a backpack toss? It all adds up. The constant cash drain and trips to the optician will get on anyone’s nerves.

If you need to make up your mind, here are some benefits of laser eye surgery worth considering:

2. Newfound Freedom: You no longer have to deal with glasses slipping off during workouts or contacts irritating your eyes. Whether you're running, swimming, or playing sports, laser eye surgery gives you the freedom to move without restrictions.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings: Laser eye surgery eliminates the need for glasses, contact lenses, cleaning solutions, and regular eye exams, saving thousands over a lifetime.

We love to make eye care accessible to everyone, and that’s why we recently reduced the price of our laser eye surgery from £1,995 to £1,495 per eye. At Optimax, we don’t vary our laser eye surgery prices according to prescription. Our treatment costs are fixed, whether you opt for LASIK or LASEK. There are no hidden costs or extra payments.
