5 Vision Myths That Might Be Holding You Back from Treatment
Are Myths Keeping You from Better Vision?
When it comes to eye surgery, misinformation can cause hesitation. At Restore Surgical Center, we want to clear up some of the most common myths that may be holding you back from achieving clearer vision and a more refreshed appearance.
Myth #1: Eye Surgery Is Always Painful
Truth: Most modern eye procedures, including Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and blepharoplasty, are minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia. Patients typically experience mild discomfort rather than pain.
Myth #2: Recovery Takes Too Long
Truth: Recovery time varies, but many patients are back to light activities within a few days. For RLE, most experience vision improvements within a week, while blepharoplasty recovery typically takes one to two weeks.
Myth #3: Surgery Isn’t Worth the Cost
Truth: Investing in your vision and appearance has long-term benefits. RLE can reduce the need for glasses or contacts, while blepharoplasty can boost confidence and even improve vision. The results are lasting, making the cost worthwhile for many.
Myth #4: Only the Elderly Need Eye Surgery
Truth: While age-related vision changes are common, younger adults may also benefit from procedures like blepharoplasty or RLE. Don’t let age stereotypes prevent you from exploring your options.
Myth #5: Glasses Are Just as Effective
Truth: Glasses correct vision but don’t address underlying issues like lens deterioration or sagging eyelids. Surgery can provide a long-term solution that glasses cannot achieve.
