Agnes is the Head of Sales at KSA Silmakeskus and is responsible for managing both people and sales processes on a daily basis. What she values most in her job is her wonderful team and the opportunity to contribute to people’s development and growth. Sport and an active lifestyle are an essential part of her life – she especially enjoys HIIT workouts and always finds time to move. After wearing glasses and contact lenses for 15 years, she decided to take a step that would significantly simplify her daily life.
Wearing glasses since the age of 12
Agnes got her first glasses and contact lenses at the age of 12 and wore them for a total of 15 years. Over time, wearing lenses became a habit, but it also brought many inconveniences: “Situations where I had to walk around with only one lens were definitely the most uncomfortable. On top of that, I constantly had to think about whether I had a spare pair, solutions, containers, etc. with me.”
Agnes recalls her most vivid memory of discomfort related to contact lenses from a longer trip to Mexico, where her existing lenses were no longer wearable and she had no spares with her. “The lenses I found in local pharmacies were much weaker in strength, so I was practically half-blind for half of the trip,” she remembers.
Why now?
Since Agnes works in an eye clinic, she didn’t have to look far for a solution. What motivated her to undergo the procedure was the desire to enjoy sports and travel without constant planning: “I decided to get rid of glasses so that I could enjoy life in general without worrying or thinking about whether I have everything I need to see the world clearly.”
Fast recovery
Agnes is one of the lucky ones who describes her recovery as very fast and smooth: “Just one week after the procedure, I was seeing with 100% clarity and did not experience any discomfort, pain or anything like that. The only thing I felt for a couple of days was some blurriness when looking up close.” She returned to her daily work routine fairly quickly: “Although I stayed away from work and intense workouts during the first week, I was still able to go for walks, cook, and spend time with loved ones.”
Life after Flow
The new sense of freedom is best reflected in small everyday joys: “It’s so nice to go to bed without having to wonder whether I actually removed my contact lenses. It even leaves room for a spontaneous nap, which used to be nearly impossible.” Agnes emphasizes that her greatest wish is to be as free and independent as possible. Since she no longer needs to worry about glasses or lenses, this was definitely a step in the right direction.
For people who are held back by fear when making decisions, she confidently gives the following advice: “Do it scared!” 🙂
