Frustrated with glasses?
In Minyama, an active coastal lifestyle and humidity make glasses a hassle — sweaty workouts, salt spray, surf sessions, and foggy lenses on early walks. Frames can slip during exercise, feel awkward at the beach or pool, and get scratched or lost on the go. Even relaxing to watch TV while lying down can be uncomfortable with frames pressing on your nose. Nights and early mornings without contacts can feel impractical.
- Exercise & sweat making lenses slippery or foggy

- Feeling self‑conscious in photos or at events (e.g., weddings)

Take our quick self‑assessment to gauge how much glasses/contacts are bothering you.

Global FAQs
Can I swim and exercise after laser?
You’ll need to avoid swimming and contamination‑prone activities for a few weeks while healing. After that, you’re welcome to swim and exercise.
Can I drive after laser?
Wait until the clinic has cleared you to drive — usually a few days to a week — and make sure you feel safe and comfortable with your vision.
Is anybody suitable for Laser?
Most prescriptions are suitable, but individual variations may not be. We recommend a free eligibility assessment to confirm your options.
Can I have laser while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Congratulations! We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding, as your body — including your eyes and prescription — can change during this time.
