Father’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate the incredible men in our lives. From a young age, we see our fathers as our very own superheroes, capable of anything and everything. Just like Superman, they possess strength, wisdom, and an unwavering sense of protection. Yet, many dads go through life as their alter ego, Clark Kent, hiding their superpowers behind a pair of glasses.
But what if we could help our dads step into the spotlight and embrace their inner Superman? Laser vision correction, such as LASIK and PresbyLASIK, offers an extraordinary way to shed those Clark Kent glasses (or readers) and see the world with crystal-clear vision.
Is My Dad Too Old for LASIK?
While LASIK is the buzzword, laser vision correction isn’t a case of one-size-fits-all. There is a range of vision correction procedures, customized for your dad based on his age, prescription, and lifestyle.
Whether he is still young and craving action or more mature with an adventurous side, there’s a tailored solution for him. Once he realizes he deserves better vision, choosing to see with his own eyes again may be the best decision he ever makes.
For anyone age 18 or older, there are options to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses. Even past the ages of 50 or 60 there are options to see clearly with your own eyes and nothing else.

Unleashing the Superpowers: The Benefits of LASIK
- Clear Vision, No Extras Required: With LASIK, dads can experience the freedom of perfect vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Imagine your father waking up every morning, instantly ready to take on the day with clear, sharp eyesight.
- Life-changing Experience: Glasses and readers can sometimes feel like a barrier, making dads look and feel older than they are.
- Enhanced Activity and Lifestyle: Whether your dad is into sports, traveling, or simply enjoys an active lifestyle, LASIK can be a game-changer. No more fumbling with glasses while playing catch and no more worrying about lost contacts during a swim. Laser vision correction lets dads enjoy their hobbies without any visual hindrances.
- The Gift of Time: Your dad no longer needs to clean his contacts twice a day. Laser vision correction will give him 10 more minutes a day. In one year, you would have saved him 60 hours. Not to mention the hours he spends searching for his glasses or readers.
- Protect Dad’s Eyes: Both LASIK and contact lenses are safe. Did you know that sight-affecting corneal infections are 10X higher in long-term contact lens wearers than after LASIK? LASIK has fewer side effects and higher satisfaction rates than contact lenses.
- Save Money in the Long Run: Not taking into consideration that seeing without visual aids is priceless, LASIK can actually save your dad money. This is also why it is a good idea to have LASIK sooner rather than later.
Interesting Facts About LASIK
- Quick: The LASIK procedure typically takes about 15 minutes per eye, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Recovery is also swift, with many experiencing improved vision within 24 hours.
- High Success Rate: LASIK boasts a remarkable success rate, with over 96% of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. It’s a proven and safe procedure that has helped millions around the world.
- Tailored to Individual Needs: Modern LASIK technology allows for customization to address specific vision issues even for those who need readers, ensuring each patient receives the best possible outcome.

Disclaimer: Glasses are safe because there is no medical procedure involved. If you are happy to wear glasses LASIK is not for you. LASIK is a lifestyle procedure providing unaided vision. According to research the cumulative risk of contact lenses may be more than LASIK.
