Vision clarity is better than it was with specs, now I don’t have to turn my face to see the characters properly! Side effects, Dry eyes issue has gone.
Glare is felt when looking at lights at night only when my eyes are very tired, but with that too, I don’t face any issue driving or doing any work, it’s a mild nuance.
Tired of wearing a mask with foggy glasses? Specs removal surgery can help. I recommend that people with stable specs power, get this treatment done.
