입트영 0625 - Vision Correction Surgery - 시력 교정술

 

Talk about vision correction surgery.

 

Most people who get vision correction surgery undergo the procedure in their 20s or 30s.

But these day, older people sometimes recieve treatment, too.

However, there is a tradeoff it you receive the surgery as you become farsighted.

Your distance vision improves, but your near vision gets worse.

You could suddenly have to were reading glasses.

 

One soulution is monovision eye surgery.

It works by correcting one eye to see far away, while the other eye is set to see nearby objects.

However, it takes several months to get used to the eyesight imbalace.

 

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, I reveived monovision LASEK surgery a month ago.

My vision is 20/20 in one eye, and 20/40 in the other.

Sometimes it feels like I'm wearing 3Dglasses.

It takes some getting used to.

However, I love that I don't have to wear glasses that get fogged up when I wear a mask.
