New Year, New Vision: Why January Is the Perfect Time for Your LASIK Resolution

A new year, a fresh start.

January is when we all set goals – hit the gym, eat healthier, learn a new language. But there’s one resolution that’s easier than all the rest and actually helps you accomplish every other goal on your list: clear vision through SoftTouch LASIK or SMILE Pro.

Here’s why January might be the smartest month to finally ditch your glasses and contacts for Detroit area patients in search of better vision.

Your FSA and HSA Just Reset (Use It or Eventually Lose It)

If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, January marks a fresh slate. Your funds have reset and vision correction procedures like SoftTouch LASIK and SMILE Pro qualify as eligible expenses.

That means you can use pre-tax dollars to invest in your vision. Don’t let those funds sit unused or expire — put them toward a procedure that delivers long-term value and freedom from glasses and contacts.

Not to mention Lake Lazer Eye Center offers flexible payment plans, so you can enjoy the resolution of clear vision without breaking the bank.

It’s the Resolution You’ll Actually Keep

Let’s be honest… for a lot of people, New Year’s resolutions fall apart by February. The gym membership collects virtual dust. The meal prep gets abandoned.

But Modern Vision Correction? It’s a one-time decision with lasting results.

Both SoftTouch LASIK and SMILE Pro take just 10-15 minutes per eye with a brief recovery period. Most patients notice significant vision improvement within 24 hours. There’s no daily commitment, no willpower required. Just clearer sight that lasts.

With over 20 years of experience and one of the highest success rates in Michigan, Lake Lazer Eye Center has helped thousands of patients achieve the vision they want. Dr. Shabbir Khambati has personally performed more than 30,000 laser vision correction procedures, and he meets with every patient at their free, no-obligation consultation.

Clear Vision Helps You Crush Every Other Goal

Want to train for a 5K? Good luck if you’re squinting through smudgy glasses or dealing with contacts that dry out mid-run.

Planning to read more books? Your eyes will thank you when you’re not straining through outdated prescriptions.

Even simple daily wins – like seeing your alarm clock when you wake up or reading a menu without fumbling for your glasses – become effortless.

Clear vision isn’t just about seeing better. It’s about living better. And when you can see clearly, every other resolution becomes easier to tackle.

Two Leading-Edge Options: SoftTouch LASIK and SMILE Pro

At Lake Lazer Eye Center, you’re not limited to one approach. Dr. Khambati specializes in both SoftTouch LASIK and SMILE Pro, tailoring the treatment to your unique eyes and lifestyle.

SoftTouch LASIK is an all-laser procedure that uses advanced 3D image-guided technology for precision and comfort. It uses less than one-third of the pressure on the eye compared to traditional LASIK and offers quicker recovery with fewer complications.

SMILE Pro – Lake Lazer Eye Center was one of the first centers in the United States to offer SMILE Pro, a minimally invasive, flapless procedure known for its effectiveness and fast recovery. In fact, patients can typically resume nearly all normal activities – including workouts and wearing eye makeup – 24 hours after the procedure.

Both procedures are safe, effective and deliver the crisp, clear vision you’ve been waiting for.
