"Safety was cited by 44 percent of our over-40 respondents as the number-one reason they would not have an elective procedure to get rid of their reading glasses," said Liz Segre, editor of AllAboutVision.com. "Even the two-thirds (66 percent) of respondents who said they would opt for a vision correction procedure, made one of their first choices (42 percent) the least invasive (CK/Conductive Keratoplasty), and their last choice (68 percent) the most invasive (traditional intraocular (IOL) implant).

Efforts to find a safe and reliable vision-improvement procedure began in the early 1990s after Navy SEALS complained about the hassles of glasses and contact lenses, which many wore despite having very good uncorrected vision. The Department of Defense wanted to improve retention of highly trained personnel, such as pilots, whose vision needs to stay sharp as they age. Private doctors say the Navy's refractive surgery research is unusually authoritative because of its independence from commercial companies and industry bias.

Laser Vision Correction... known as LASIK, promises a new freedom for the majority of those who wear glasses or contact lenses. There is nothing quite like being able to see clearly without the aid of glasses or contacts after being dependent for so long. But the benefits don’t end with that initial “wow” factor. There are real financial and work benefits, as well as those for an improved lifestyle – whether hard at play, or sleeping late.

IntraLase Corp. ILSE today announced survey results concluding many U.S. adults would not feel capable without their glasses or contact lenses during emergency situations. More than one-half (52 percent) of U.S. adults who wear corrective lenses say they would feel worried (40 percent), fearful (22 percent) and/or powerless (18 percent), if they lost or did not have access to their corrective lenses during an emergency. In fact, only one-third (31 percent) of adults who wear corrective lenses say they would feel capable in an emergency if they didn't have or lost their corrective lenses. With recent events focusing attention on disaster readiness, vision care is an important and often overlooked consideration in preparedness.
