Ever been hit in the face with a soccer ball? Ever been hit in the face with a soccer ball while you were wearing glasses? That hurts. Not only that, but your glasses probably get smashed up as well. Bummer.
Lasik Surgery Can Eliminate Glasses
Even with specially made glasses to be used in sports, it still hurts to get hit in the face with that kicked soccer ball and your glasses, no matter how specially they’ve been designed, are probably going to end up a little worse for the wear. Not to mention the fact that even with a headband, glasses can fly off during a full contact sport such as soccer. They end up on the ground, someone steps on them, and you are back to square one. That and you can’t see. Carrying around an extra pair of glasses is a pricey endeavor, particularly if they are specially designed for sports. I’m not sure soccer players make really great money unless they’re really good at it.
Yes But Is It Safe?
Many people have asked if playing full contact sports after something like Lasik surgery is safe? Rest assured martial artists, boxers, football players and soccer players can, after a full recovery, go back to enjoying the sport of their choice and enjoy it more because now they can actually see what they’re doing on a consistent, focused basis. Much research has been done in order to assure sports enthusiasts that even after Lasik surgery the stress tolerance of your eyes is more than ample to enjoy your chosen sport.
Basically, your doctor’s specified physical exertion limitations after surgery are more to prevent infection than they are to prevent injury. The perspiration that drips down your face and across your eyelashes down into your eyes contains any number of bacteria. And who needs that?
