Holiday without the hassle of reading glassesLens replacement surgery is a globally celebrated procedure for completely eliminating (or reducing) the need for wearing reading glasses.If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you may suddenly have trouble seeing things up close or at a distance – despite never having vision troubles your whole life. This is because you’re experiencing presbyopia (ageing eyes). Ageing eyes slow down spontaneous moments when you’re out with friends or family, particularly on holidays.Reading glasses needn’t be the final pit stop.Choosing lens replacement will erase your vision problems, and you can improve your vacations for good.No more broken or damaged glassesThere are so many opportunities for your specs to break or lose quality. You get sand in them on the beach (and then your eyes). You scratch or break them after riding in a tuk-tuk in Thailand. You bend them after falling asleep with them on in the sun.After refractive lens exchange, you can expect total freedom from these petty annoyances and focus on that relaxing break you paid for.Get lost in the moment and enjoy that beautiful viewTime and time again, you take your glasses on and off, on and off… When all you want to do is look. Something so simple as viewing a beautiful, expansive view has recently become a challenge for you.If you choose multifocal IOLs (Intraocular lenses), you can view your entire spectrum of vision and see the world around you – at any distance and with crystal clarity.You will (literally) have nothing to loseOne of the biggest annoyances about taking your reading glasses on holiday is the possibility of losing them. Unfortunately, there are many scenarios where this can happen, such as on local transport, at a restaurant, on the beach, at a temple… or in your hotel bathroom when you leave!But having lens replacement will eradicate any chance of you reducing your vision. You can travel and sight-see to your heart’s content. Not only this but no longer will you need to pay to insure your specs.

But without them, you’re less confident to fully let go.After lens replacement surgery, you’ll reclaim those spontaneous moments and enjoy your holiday to the fullest.Refractive lens exchange will transform your lifestyle for the better.Book an assessment here if you’d like to learn more about how it can benefit you or anything else.Home » Lens replacement » Holiday without the hassle of reading glasses Search for: ARE YOU SUITABLE?Check your laser eye surgery suitability online with our free LASIK self-testTAKE SUITABILITY SELF-TESTOUR MOST POPULAR PROCEDURESLASIKSmartSightICLLens ReplacementPRKRefractive cataract surgeryFAQsWHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY…“Very friendly and professional staff.
