Among the five sense organs in the human body I believe that the sight is the most important. If one can't see, even day to day activities become a big challenge. Over the years medical science is advancing and has been able to create marvelous cures for eye problems. A fantastic procedure to improve one's vision is the Lasik surgery. This procedure has helped hundreds of thousands of visually impaired people to see better.

One of the pioneers in the field of Lasik surgery, Abbott Medical Optics Inc. (AMO), organized the iLASIK Video Contest. The contest featured videos that showcased how much their quality of life had improved following laser vision correction. The contest also featured a $5,000 grand prize for the best video and several other awards.

Each contest features two winning videos that send out the all important message about eye care. Watch the videos and you will learn a lot about eye health, vision enhancement, laser vision correction and related topics.

Contact Lenses or Lasik, which is cheaper?

People with eye problems often face several dilemmas. The first being choosing between spectacles and contact lenses. Spectacles if not created to suit the user can mar the beauty of the wearer. Contact lenses are expensive and need continuous care and replacement. Now with advancement in eye care and medical therapies, there is a new dilemma contact lenses or LASIK. In this case also the primary concerns are the cost.

In the short term it appears that contact lenses are cheaper compared to Lasik. According to a new quantitative research, wearing contact lenses could actually prove more expensive over a lifetime. For example the research states that a 25 year old wear extended wear contacts will spend over $20,000 through his/ her life. That is a very steep number, my sister and brother both wear contact lenses and I need to tell them about these costs.

I feel that with iLASIK one can completely avoid contact lenses and eliminate recurring costs. The savings will prove phenomenal in the long run.

Historically we are living in tough economic times and every penny saved is a penny earned. It is time we let eye care experts take care of our eyes and junk those contact lenses and go in for the most modern LASIK. This procedure is covered by most health savings accounts which provides a tax deductible method to pay for better vision.

Patients who have had the LASIK procedure done are extremely happy with the results and they feel that the costs are not as high as they thought it was. Moreover the elimination of recurring contact lens costs came as a big boon.
