Methods to improve vision

Let’s have a look at different methods that are used to improve vision, what are advantages and disadvantages.

Glasses. The king of all methods. They’ve been used for quite a long time and are still about the only method that immediately corrects your vision. They are relatively safe (compared to horrible Lasik surgery) but in the long run they worsen the vision, in the majority of cases. They also distort vision, especially if you vision is really bad. They are, however, the best tool to use during natural vision improvement. Remember that glasses are basically crutches, they do not address the root of the problem but just alleviate the symptom. Their great advantage is that they can be put on and off in seconds.

Contact lenses. The second best. They eliminate some problems associated with glasses like the limit of the field of vision and vision distortion. They look much better on a person. However, they decrease eye sensitivity and increase the risk of eye infection. They also cannot be removed immediately like glasses. I don’t know if wearing contacts causes progressive myopia like in case with glasses. I myself prefer contacts to glasses for the above reasons.

Lasik surgery. The worse method you can choose. Instant gratification but the risk associated with the operation is great. Often doctors don’t inform you of all the consequences of this dangerous operation. The surgery does not remove the underlying cause of bad vision but just the symptoms. The damage made to your cornea cannot be undone and your vision will deteriorate again in the future. I recommend you stay away from it.
