How’s your eyesight, mamas? If you’re curious about LASIK surgery in Singapore, check out our roundup of the island’s top specialists!
Ever been on vacation and discovered that you forgot to pack contact lens solution (or, even more maddeningly, one of those tiny storage cases)? Or perhaps you’re sick of going outside in the Singapore humidity and having your glasses fog up. Whatever the issue, there are heaps of reasons to consider LASIK surgery, which has a 95-99% success rate and takes just 15 minutes!
If you’re not too familiar with LASIK, it’s a type of eye surgery in which an eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea, then uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct any other refractive errors in the eye – including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism (source). If you want to know about whether LASIK is right for you, risk factors, or side effects, check out our recent interview with leading surgeon Dr Lee Hung Ming, who answers FAQ’s regarding everything from recovery time to average cost (while LASIK generally isn’t covered by insurance, think about how much you’ll save not having to wear contact lenses or spectacles for the rest of your life!).
While LASIK surgery is pretty straightforward and has an excellent success rate, we know how much you value your eyes, mama, which is why we’ve rounded up the top LASIK specialists in Singapore so you can rest easy knowing you’re in competent, experienced hands. If you’re even a little bit curious, why not schedule a consultation to find out how LASIK can change your life?
