We're asked this question at some of our consutlations:
I'm a keen hill walker - will laser eye surgery help me enjoy my sport more?
Hill walking is a favourite pastime and for many people in the UK. Wearing glasses or contact lenses is a practical issue for anyone who participates in sport. On rainy days glasses get steamed up and there's always the worry that glasses could get broken. With contact lenses, they tend to dry out if you're doing a long walk or if it's windy day, so it can be a nuisance to have to sort them out!
Many patients undergo laser eye correction to enable them to enjoy their sports & hobbies more freely. Whether it's swimming, running or hill walking, nobody really likes the inconvenience that wearing glasses or contact lenses can bring. Good luck with it and hope it makes you can appreciate the views more without looking through rain speckled specs !!
