For Photographers, LASIK Can Be a Real Eye-Opener Presented by The American Refractive Surgery Council with Dr. Eric Donnenfeld
The Hassle of Glasses & Contacts By eliminating the hassle of glasses or contacts, LASIK makes it easier and more comfortable to handle cameras Especially the small digital cameras that are increasingly popular among professionals as well as enthusiastic amateurs
Removing Barriers to Great Photos Photography is all about eyesight and its also about removing obstacles between the photographer and what he sees LASIK can be a boon to photographers because it removes barriers and makes the act of taking pictures much easier Many photographers need vision correction, and for decades, many have relied on eyeglasses or contacts But contact lens wearers can be hampered by dust, sand, water or other harsh environmental conditions that photographers often encounter Glare can be a problem for contact lens wearers as well
Viewfinder Issues Eyeglasses need to be managed, and can prevent a photographer from seeing the full image in the viewfinder Only the most expensive professional cameras offer full eye relief the ability to see the full viewfinder image while the eye is a few inches away from the viewfinder, as would be the case for a photographer wearing eyeglasses Some cameras also offer viewfinders with adjustable diopters that photographers can set to match their vision correction. But less expensive cameras including compact and Micro Four- Thirds models increasingly favored by professionals as well as amateurs often have small viewfinders that offer little eye relief Many of these cameras offer electronic displays that can be hard to read in bright light a disadvantage for contact lens wearers and a challenge for everyone who needs vision correction
Simplifying Photography Equipment Finally, theres the simple fact that photographers need to manage lots of equipment cameras, lenses, batteries and removing eyeglasses or contact lens apparatus from the mix can make their lives in the field much easier
LASIK & Photography Dr. Donnenfeld advises that LASIK is surgery, and needs to be taken seriously: Not every person is a good candidate, and there can be risks and side effects Choosing a good surgeon an experienced one who is not necessarily the least expensive is important Resources available on the Internet, including the American Refractive Surgery Councils website, can help photographers explore LASIK and learn what questions to ask when they consult with a surgeon Photographers who turn out to be good candidates for LASIK and who undergo the procedure will need to go through an adjustment period In particular, night vision may be affected until the eye fully heals But once healing is complete, the improvement in vision and the added convenience can make photography a much more pleasurable experience
