If you have felt FOMO, when it comes to LASIK vision correction, you are not alone. “What is LASIK FOMO?”, it is the Fear Of Missing Out on LASIK eye surgery.
As you scroll through your social media streams, you have probably noticed your friends and family posting openly that they ditched their glasses or contacts for LASIK eye surgery and raved online about their new and improved vision. If seeing these posts makes you a little envious, then you have FOMO.
Even if you are not active on social media, you have probably overheard in your office or at a dinner party unsolicited LASIK reviews from people boasting about their 20/20 vision or share each-and-every detail of their patient experience.
If you have not yet experienced this LASIK FOMO first hand, just pop over to Facebook or Instagram and search the term #LASIK. Here is just a small taste of the real LASIK conversations happening on social media, specifically Instagram:
“@ProvidenceEye #lasik surgery yesterday at 11am back to work today 20/15 vision #charlotte"
“Look ma, no glasses! A little over 24 hours post-op and I’m seeing 20/20 #lasik #providenceeye #gamechnager #loveit #nomorefoureyes #nomorecontacts"
"From > 20/800 to 20/20 #greeneyes #eyes Thanks, @ProvidenceEye"
If LASIK eye surgery is something you have been considering, there is a high probability that you can relate to at least one of the posts above.
