Millennials, a generation well-familiar with tech, travel and lived experiences, are also known to crave freedom and individuality. Yet, for many, those desires are hampered by dependence on glasses or contacts. Is it no wonder this is a generation that actively seeks something better?

Enter LASIK, the modern laser vision correction procedure offering a path for young adults to ditch the spectacles and embrace a life unburdened. Here are 5 things LASIK makes possible for millennials who choose to take the leap:

Be truly free.

Imagine waking up, jumping into the shower, heading out for a walk or sweating it out at the gym without worrying about glasses slipping or contacts drying out. LASIK grants you the freedom to live life spontaneously, whether it’s a last-minute adventure or an unplanned dip in the pool. No more scrambling for lost glasses or worrying about damage (or injuries) during your many activities. Embrace the freedom to truly experience life, unhindered.

Additionally, there is very little time commitment to the LASIK surgery itself for millennials juggling careers, social lives and personal pursuits. LASIK boasts a quick recovery time, typically with minimal downtime. The actual procedure takes only minutes per eye, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days.

Express individuality.

Glasses can be part of your personal style but shouldn’t limit or dictate it. LASIK empowers you to choose glasses or sunglasses based on fashion, not necessity. Experiment with bold frames, rock trendy aviators or comfortably go bare-faced—the choice is yours. Let your unique personality shine through, unconstrained by corrective eyewear.

Conserve the environment.

Did you know contact lenses and their plastic packaging contribute to landfill waste? When flushed, they can also enter groundwater, where they break down into microplastics that harm wildlife.

LASIK, conversely, is an environmentally friendly choice. No more disposable lenses, packaging or cleaning solution bottles piling up. Opting for LASIK helps you reduce your environmental footprint, allowing you to see clearly and live sustainably.

Keep money in your pocket.

While the initial cost of LASIK might seem daunting, consider the long-term savings. Think about buying frames, expensive contact lenses and contact lens storage and cleaning solutions, year after year and decade after decade.

LASIK is a one-time investment that could save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. Plus, many surgeons offer flexible financing options, making it easier to fit the procedure into your budget.
