Summer is here, and with it the sun, the beach, hiking, swimming and diving, festivals - in short, all those little pleasures we look forward to all year round. But for spectacle and contact lens wearers, some of these activities can quickly become a headache.
What if this year, you could make the most of summer without glasses? Thanks to refractive surgery, it's possible. We tell you all about it.
Why does summer put a strain on your eyewear?
The warm weather means outdoor activities... and problems for those who wear glasses or contact lenses:
- Glasses that slip with heat or sunscreen
- Difficulty swimming or playing sports with a correction
- Fogged or scratched lenses
- Sand and salt water irritate lenses
- Fear of losing your glasses in the sea
These little hassles can really spoil the pleasure of your vacation. Fortunately, there is a lasting and effective solution: refractive surgery.
Refractive surgery: clear vision without constraints
Refractive surgery encompasses a number of techniques (LASIK, PKR, SMILE) for the permanent correction of vision disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia and sometimes even presbyopia.
The goal? To give you clear vision without glasses or contact lenses on a daily basis. The result: total visual freedom, particularly appreciated during the summer months.
⚠️ Important: Refractive surgery is a surgical procedure that must be carefully considered. It is not suitable for everyone, and a full assessment with a specialist is essential to determine whether you are eligible for refractive surgery and thus guarantee your safety.
Why consider the operation before the summer?
If you're wondering "Can I have eye surgery in summer?", the answer is yes!
- Rapid intervention (just a few minutes)
- Recovery time is generally short (a few days to a week, depending on the method).
- You'll be able to enjoy your vacation to the full once the healing phase is over.
Important: a pre-operative check-up is essential to determine whether you are eligible. Your ophthalmologist will explain the steps and precautions to follow.
A liberated summer, a transformed life
Imagine:
- Dive headfirst without worrying about your contacts/glasses
- No longer need to alternate between prescription glasses and sunglasses, and be able to clearly admire underwater life. That diving course you've been dreaming of for so long is now yours!
- Enjoy summer days without glasses that slip off due to perspiration
- Cycling without adjusting your glasses
Festival dancing without them falling off
Refractive surgery is much more than a visual correction: it's a way to live more comfortably and regain your freedom.
