Seeing Your Wedding with New Eyes

Every bride wants to be seen at her best on her wedding day – and every bride wants to see her best as well.

They don’t want to miss a moment of their unforgettable, life-defining ceremony. Now, more than ever, brides are turning to LASIK (laser) eye surgery for better vision on their big day and beyond.

Mary Gordon, who honeymooned in Hawaii, had worn contacts for eight years when she decided to have LASIK surgery. “I was used to contacts, but I really wanted more freedom—I didn’t want to worry about getting sand in my eyes or taking out my lenses before going to the pool.” And like Mary, brides and grooms don’t want to worry about uncomfortable contact lenses that can leave eyes red and irritated just when the photographer is taking those memorable wedding photos.

About Lasik
While many people still wear contacts, others are opting for laser vision correction. Contact lens wearers sometimes become contact lens intolerant, allergic or have dry eyes, and some people are just tired of the fuss of taking them in and out each day.”

LASIK is an outpatient procedure that is suitable for most prescriptions. First performed in the late 1980s, LASIK is one of the most frequently performed healthcare procedures in North America. It is used to treat a broad range of conditions including nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness in people who are at least 18 years old, in good general health and who have no eye diseases.

In the LASIK procedure, the surgeon delivers a pre-programmed number of pulses of “cool” light onto the cornea, reshaping it one pulse at a time. The entire procedure only takes about 10 minutes per eye to perform.

In addition to LASIK, many patients may benefit from Custom LASIK—the newest technology in LASIK surgery. Just like your wedding gown, Custom LASIK is designed to fit “just you” and your eyes. In the Custom LASIK procedure, a unique treatment plan is programmed into the laser to customize your procedure to your individual prescription.

In LASIK and Custom LASIK, the degree of visual improvement varies from one person to another, with the goal to be as close to 20/20 as possible.

Life Changing Experience
Dr. Marc Leibole reports that LASIK can be a life-changing experience. “My patients constantly tell me how free they feel without dependence on their glasses and contacts,” he says. “They love being able to enjoy the outdoors without wind, dust or sand compromising their vision.”

Dr. Marc Leibole recommends planning ahead for your laser eye surgery. “It’s not unusual for someone to tell us, ‘I’m getting married in two weeks’, but most people should be out of contacts a few weeks or even a couple of months for their cornea to stabilize before the surgery. About 3 months ahead of time is adequate.”
