“I know, sounds like that classic phrase everyone says after laser surgery… but, well, clich\u00e9s become clich\u00e9s for a reason.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

What kind of work do you do? What are your hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I work in the commercial real estate sector. In my free time, I enjoy various sports, such as swimming, and going to the sauna. All of this requires being able to see clearly without glasses.<\/p>\n\n

Why did you decide to have laser surgery?\u00a0What bothered you the most about glasses\/contact lenses?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The decision was quite incidental. While on a work assignment, I met with a representative from the manufacturer during the installation of equipment at the Silmalaser Stockmann Clinic and asked them about the technology they use. This conversation reassured me that this was a high-class solution.<\/p>\n\n

The thing that bothered me the most about glasses was that they quickly fogged up when I went outdoors and indoors or when it rained. With contact lenses, the problem was dry eyes after a long day of work.<\/p>\n\n

\n

“The thing I was most worried about was the long recovery time. I knew that in some other clinics it could take several weeks.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

How long did you consider laser surgery and what struck you most about the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

About five years. In the meantime, I was pregnant and breastfeeding, so the decision was postponed. What stood out most was the professionalism of the doctor and their calm, reassuring attitude.<\/p>\n\n

What was your biggest fear before the surgery? What would you recommend for those who have a similar fear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The thing I was most worried about was the long recovery time. I knew that in some other clinics it could take several weeks. In reality, it was quick and painless.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

What I recommend to anyone with a similar fear: just take this step.<\/strong> The sooner you do it, the longer you can enjoy clear vision. I was already in a meeting the next morning!<\/p>\n\n

How did you feel after the surgery, when your vision had recovered and you could see the world around you without glasses? Did anything exciting or unexpected happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Even though I was used to wearing contact lenses and my minus was only -1, a life without glasses is still a huge improvement. It was really the best decision. In hindsight, I could have done it even sooner.<\/p>\n\n

What has been the biggest change in your life thanks to the surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Saved time and peace of mind. In the morning, I no longer have to think about whether to bring glasses or contact lenses. Travelling and playing sports are also much easier!<\/p>\n\n

What would you recommend for those considering the surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Do it! You\u2019ll be able to enjoy more years of travel, sports, spas and everyday life without glasses or contact lenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
