What is daily life like before LASIK?

Dr. Matthew Russell explains what daily life is like before LASIK

Daily life before LASIK is dominated by the need for glasses and contact lenses.

People pre-LASIK cannot see normally without their glasses or contact lenses and there’s a generalized pervasive sense of frustration in general. The glasses get in the way of sports or hobbies or activities that the person wants to do. They feel held back, it affects their self-image. They don’t feel as attractive as they would like to be with their glasses on and they really are at the point that they want to change their lives by getting rid of those glasses, and they’ve made the decision to go ahead and do something about it.
