Spectacles

The oldest and safest method of correcting refraction is by placing a curved lens in front of the eye.

Highly tinted lenses are often excluded.

Contact lenses can be hard, soft or disposable.

Because there is direct contact with the eye for extended periods of time, there is a risk of damage and infection.

Laser eye surgery reduces or eliminates dependency on corrective lenses by changing the shape of the patient’s eyes.

Now that laser eye surgery has become more affordable ($2,000) and main-stream, benefit plan have included it as an eligible expense.

Risks associated with eye surgery include under-correction, over-correction, loss of sharpness and degradation of night vision.
