Wearing protective masks to ward off COVID-19 and needing glasses is not a good mix, and the combination seems to be prompting more people to get LASIK surgery.
Michele Scott of Huntingdon had LASIK surgery at Envision Laser Centers in Altoona in May.
“There would be days where I would just wear my glasses, and I didn’t like the way I looked with my glasses,” she said.
“They were better for me, but they were uncomfortable because I had to wear a mask and my glasses would fog up. It just became a constant headache.” She had previously worn contact lenses during the day and sometimes bifocal glasses and bifocal contacts for reading and distance vision.
