A Millennian is a person reaching young adulthood in the 21st Century. This century is market by innovations in technology, affecting all industries and fields, including the medical field. This trend makes Millennials more open to innovations such as LASIK eye surgery.
Another factor is that Millennials, when compared to the generations that came before, lead extremely active lifestyles. They are both physically and socially active, which nurtures the idea that they don’t have the time nor the energy to worry about having to wear eyeglasses and contact lenses. Millennials are all about efficiency and quick fixes so they can move on with their active lifestyles. This is one of the reasons why they make the perfect candidates for corrective eye surgery.
A recent study showed that between 2012-2013 and beyond more than 63% of people who receive laser eye surgery are in fact Millennials – ages between 18 -34.
Also, easy access to information and latest trends on platforms such as social media and the Internet in general, makes Millennials more prone to learn about LASIK and it’s effectiveness. LASIK surgery truly does offer the freedom to correct vision quickly and with minimal downtime in exchange for never having to worry about corrective eye wear, or at least for decades to come.
LASIK is also very affordable when compared to having to spend the time and money on glasses and contact lenses as well as annual doctor visits to monitor one’s progression of vision loss and changes in prescription. Many LASIK doctors now offer easy financing and monthly payment plans for those who want to cover their procedure over time.
Dr. Hakimzadeh from Oakland Eye Clinic in Michigan routinely performs LASIK procedures on patients of all ages, especially young adults who belong to the Millennials generation. She is a leading laser eye surgeon in the state of Michigan and offers the full spectrum of eye care services for patients of all ages.
