For some people, the thought of leaving summer behind for cold, dreary winter days is enough to book a one way ticket to Florida. But here at Stahl, we think winter has its upsides! For instance, we think it’s one of the best times of year to get LASIK surgery. There are a few reasons for this.
Why do we think winter is the best time of year to get LASIK surgery? Keep reading to find out!
LASIK Recovery
Before we get into why winter is a great time to get LASIK surgery, we want to make it clear that LASIK is great any time of the year.
LASIK recovery is well known for being quick and relatively easy. After LASIK, don’t expect to be bed-ridden and dependant on the care of others. During your LASIK recovery, you will have to follow a few instructions to avoid infection or injury. Other than that, you’ll find yourself back to your daily activities within a day or so. So, while we think it’s easiest to get LASIK during the winter for convenience sake, you would find the recovery process itself to be just as simple during the summer.
More Time
Many people fill their schedules during the summer while keeping their winter schedules minimal. Understandably so, people are more likely to stay at home most winter days. Many people don’t venture out of their homes during the winter unless going to and from work!
Because of the slow pace, many people schedule their LASIK surgery for the winter. That way, they don’t feel so bad about staying inside and relaxing during their recovery. People are also more likely to take time off for work and make a “staycation” out of it. This makes LASIK recovery a breeze!
New Year, New Look
Everyone is looking for ways to reinvent themselves each new year. While not all new year’s resolutions work out, it’s important to look for ways to improve your life and habits. While getting LASIK is not so much of a resolution, it can definitely give you the confidence to get on that path of change! LASIK often gives our patients a spark of inspiration to improve other areas of their lives.
First comes clear vision, then comes the rest! Often times, a boost in self-esteem and confidence will manifest change in more ways than just getting rid of your glasses. Many patients are inspired to get out of their comfort zones and do things they’ve always wanted to do.
Tax Refund Season
Many people save big purchases for the beginning of the year when they get their tax returns. This could be a good time to put money into your LASIK fund! While many places offer financing for LASIK, it is always a good idea to have money saved up for the procedure. Aside from the peace of mind it will offer you, it’ll help you pay for your procedure quicker and easier! This year, put your tax returns to good use and invest in yourself.
Are you looking to make the most out of your time this winter? Will you be one of the many to change their lives for the better this holiday season?
