July Is Global Vision Correction Month
July is Global Vision Correction Month and members of the Refractive Surgery Alliance (RSA), a global professional organization of leading eye surgeons, will celebrate by sharing their own vision correction surgery to raise awareness. This initiative highlights many of the refractive surgeries and procedures available to enhance vision correction, including LASIK, PRK, ICL, and cataract surgery.
Quick facts about refractive surgery:
- Nearly ⅔ of refractive surgeons have undergone a refractive surgery procedure to correct their own vision.
- There are many refractive surgical procedures available for vision correction, catered to a variety of visual conditions.
- LASIK surgeons and their immediate family undergo laser vision correction at 5x the rate of the general population.
- People who choose LASIK over contact lenses and glasses have the highest levels of overall satisfaction.
As a member of the Refractive Surgery Alliance, our own Dr. Evan Schoenberg is no stranger to refractive surgery. Prior to becoming a refractive surgeon, he had his own LASIK procedure performed in 2009.
“I am proud to be both a refractive surgeon (an eye surgeon who eliminates the need for glasses via a variety of techniques, including LASIK, PRK, ICL, and cataract surgery) and a refractive patient. LASIK and other vision correction surgeries are truly life-changing, improving lifestyle, occupational fitness, safety, and financial freedom in addition to convenience.”
