The National Center for Family
Literacy (NCFL) has designated the month of November as National Family
Literacy Month®. Having the ability to read with your children can dramatically
improve their performance at school as well as their economical, emotional and
social development. Family reading time also helps to strengthen the family
bond.
At Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery we work hard to help adults achieve clear
vision so it’s easy and fun to read – both to their children and for their own
enjoyment. One way we do this is through LASIK vision correction. LASIK can
correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism by actually changing
the shape of the cornea. When the cornea is properly shaped, light coming into
the eye will focus correctly on the retina (the back of the eye).
Some patients are able to
eliminate their need for glasses and contacts after LASIK. Of course, every
patient is different, but think of how much more enjoyable reading would be if
you didn’t have to hunt for your glasses or take out your contacts at night
when reading before bed.
Not everyone who wears glasses is
a good candidate for LASIK. You need an in-depth examination by a trained
ophthalmologist to find out for sure. At Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery we offer free LASIK Consultations to do
just that.
The NCFL has created a
fundraising challenge called The
Big Give for Families Learning to raise money to support family literacy and
learning programs. Participants can win a variety of fantastic prizes. Visit the
NCFL website to learn more: http://www.famlit.org/.

Literacy Month to remember. Contact Charleston Cornea & Refractive Surgery in Charleston today to schedule your free LASIK Consultation to find out if LASIK is right for
