A journalist has spoken out about his laser eye surgery experience.
Michael Purton, writing for ThisIsLocalLondon.co.uk, said that he found the idea of the invasive surgery "scary".
He noted that the technical side of the surgery, the flipping up of the cornea and laser flashes sound "horrific", but did not cause pain.
For some people, the risks of eye laser surgery are too much and they may be looking for an alternative way to rid themselves of shortsightedness.
Overnight vision correction lenses could be the answer.
Ortho k lenses are worn only while asleep and help to gently reshape the cornea, meaning that those who are concerned about the complications of eye laser surgery can avoid it and still get
natural vision.
The lenses are a great option for people who suffer from allergies and want to avoid day wear lenses or for children who do not want to wear glasses at school.
