For individuals who are considering rhinoplasty and wear glasses, getting rid of glasses before surgery may be a good option to avoid the pressure and discomfort that may be caused by using glasses after surgery.
Methods to Get Rid of Glasses Before Having Rhinoplasty
- Contact Lens Use
Using contact lenses instead of glasses before surgery completely eliminates the pressure on the nose. Contact lenses provide convenience in daily use and are advantageous in terms of aesthetic appearance. However, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist before you start using contact lenses.
- Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery (such as LASIK, PRK) offers a permanent solution to avoid the need for glasses or contact lenses. Laser eye surgeries are generally suitable for people who are over 18 years old and whose eye numbers are fixed.
When we look at the advantages of laser eye surgery; You can say goodbye to glasses and contact lenses. It completely eliminates the need to wear glasses after rhinoplasty. A detailed examination with an ophthalmologist is necessary before planning surgery.
- Glasses Hangers and Rimless Models
If you have to continue wearing glasses, glasses with special straps that can be used before or after rhinoplasty or frameless models that do not put pressure on the nose can be preferred. These options do not negatively affect the post-operative recovery process.
- Contact Lens Alternatives: Smart Lenses
For those looking for a long-term solution, smart lens (intraocular lens) applications can be considered. This method can permanently solve vision problems in people with problems such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism with lenses placed inside the eye.
- Bandana or Glasses Support
If it is not possible to stop using glasses before rhinoplasty, you can use special devices or bandana-like solutions that provide support for the cheeks instead of the nose.
