Posted by: Missouri Eye Institute in Blog on January 5, 2026

Every January, millions of people set ambitious goals: hit the gym more, advance their careers, pick up new hobbies. But what if there was one resolution that could make all the others easier to achieve?

Well, there is. And that resolution is Modern LASIK. Clear vision is about more than just seeing better – it’s about living better. When you can see the world around you with crisp clarity, everything from morning workouts to late-night work sessions becomes simpler and more enjoyable.

Here’s why January is the perfect time to make LASIK your easiest – and most impactful – resolution of the year.

The Fresh Start You’ve Been Waiting For

There’s something powerful about a fresh start. January offers a clean slate, a chance to invest in yourself and set the tone for the entire year ahead.

LASIK fits perfectly into that fresh-start mentality. Imagine waking up on January mornings and seeing clearly without fumbling for glasses or dealing with dry contact lenses. That simple change can shift your entire mindset and set a positive momentum for the months to come.

Many patients report that LASIK gave them more than just better vision – it gave them confidence and freedom they didn’t know they were missing.

At Missouri Eye Institute, we’ve been helping patients achieve that transformation for nearly 30 years. Our board-certified surgeons were the first in Missouri to offer Bladeless LASIK and have collectively performed tens of thousands of successful procedures across Southwest Missouri.

Your FSA and HSA Just Reset

Here’s a practical reason to schedule LASIK at Missouri Eye Institute in January: your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds just refreshed for the new year.

As of 2025, you can contribute up to $2,750 in untaxed dollars to your FSA, and those funds can be used toward LASIK. That means you can pay for vision correction with pre-tax money, reducing your out-of-pocket cost significantly.

But here’s the catch: many FSA plans operate on a “use it or lose it” basis. If you don’t use your funds by the end of the year, you may forfeit them. By scheduling LASIK early in January, you maximize your benefits and avoid the December rush.

Missouri Eye Institute also offers flexible financing options, including low- and no-interest payment plans, to make your vision correction investment even more affordable.

Clear Vision Is the Foundation for Every Other Goal

Want to get more active this year? Clear vision makes it easier. No more glasses fogging up during your morning run or slipping during yoga class. No more worrying about contact lenses drying out halfway through your spin session.

Hoping to advance your career? Sharp vision can boost productivity and reduce eye strain during long workdays at the computer. And you can feel more confident presenting or networking.

Planning to dive into new hobbies like photography, hiking or travel? Modern LASIK removes the hassle of packing extra contact supplies or worrying about losing your glasses on an adventure.

The truth is, nearly every resolution becomes easier when you can see clearly and comfortably. At Missouri Eye Institute, our procedures are designed to remove barriers and empower you to fully engage with the life you want to live.

It’s the Easiest Resolution You’ll Ever Keep

Let’s be honest: most New Year’s resolutions are hard to keep. They require ongoing effort, discipline, and motivation.

Modern LASIK is different. Thanks to our technology and surgical expertise, the procedure takes only about 15 minutes for both eyes. Most patients notice dramatic improvement in their vision within just 24 to 48 hours.

At Missouri Eye Institute, we use advanced i-Design 2.0 technology with wavefront analysis to create a precise, customized treatment plan for your unique eyes. This leading-edge approach ensures optimal results and faster recovery.

You make one decision, show up for one appointment, and enjoy the benefits for years to come. No daily willpower required. No risk of “falling off the wagon.”

It’s a resolution that keeps itself.
