Vision difficulties are a common occurrence, so much so that everyone either knows someone who has them or they themselves experience vision difficulties. Whether it’s astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), or farsightedness (hyperopia), people’s quality of life is severely hampered by their inability to see clearly. Luckily, there’s a procedure called PRK, or photoreactive keratectomy, that can help. PRK exists as an excellent solution to treat individuals with vision problems, in particular those who cannot undergo the more popular sister option called LASIK.

What To Do With Your Glasses After LASIK

Thanks to the wonders of corrective laser eye procedures like LASIK, many patients are left with a number of old eye accessories that do nothing but make them see worse, not better. It’s common for patients to not know what to do with these remnants of their past glasses-filled lives. Unfortunately, many of these precious seeing devices get thrown out or left in drawers to be forgotten, when in actuality they could be put to much better use. The last place that your glasses should go is in the trashcan because of the millions of people around the world who can’t afford glasses and have vision difficulties. Without the resources to see a Kuwait ophthalmologist like Ghassan Zein, MD or the means to afford glasses/contact lenses, their quality of life is severely decreased.
