Selfie Glare? Lose It!

How many times have you had to reposition your head to re-take selfies just to get rid of the glare from your glasses? Wouldn’t it be easier to never think about camera angles and snap a selfie anytime, anywhere…without that annoying glare getting in the way?

Let’s face it -- if you wear glasses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, they likely get in the way and ruin great selfies. You may have to experiment with several positions to actually see your eyes behind glaring lenses, taking the focus from your beautiful smile or handsome face.

Of course, you can always remove your glasses, but then you may not be able to see clearly enough to take the photo! After all, the fun of selfies is ease and spontaneity. Who wants the hassle of “preparing” for photos every time or losing that “in the moment” feeling that selfies project? It just may be time to think about LASIK vision correction!

LASIK science and technology incorporate lasers to rapidly and painlessly reshape the cornea. Then light will be properly focused on the back of the eye (the retina) and clear vision is the result. LASIK is an amazing procedure that is completely customized for every unique eye. In fact, after LASIK, many patients leave their glasses behind (except for those fashion-forward sunglasses, of course) and achieve 20/20 vision.

Not everyone who wears glasses is a good candidate for LASIK, however. The right corneal thickness, refractive measurement, and good eye health are required for the procedure to be effective. The only way to know for sure if you are a good LASIK candidate is to have a free comprehensive exam at Rochester Eye and Laser Center.

Our founder and surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Lindahl, will help you learn about LASIK and find out if 20/20 vision from LASIK is a possibility for you. He can also discuss LASIK financing options that make the procedure affordable – almost as easy as snapping that eyeglass-free selfie.
