Do you live a demanding life? Do you love sports but feel bogged down by glasses or contacts? Consider joining the likes of US Winter Olympic athletes whose active lifestyles demand the most from their bodies. Consider seeking the advantages of better vision with LASIK vision correction. You might be surprised at the number of Olympic athletes who have used LASIK to help them improve their eyesight. Bode Miller finished eighth in the alpine skiing race that he had hoped would signal his return. In fact, his performance wasn't his only missed chance, he regretted not getting laser vision correction before the Olympics. 

"Bode Miller admits mistakes, he revealed that, in hindsight, he would have changed to a less edgy pair of skis for the race, would perhaps have tried to ski a little less aggressively and would have undergone LASIK eye surgery before the Games as he had originally planned."(USA Today)

Don't let your busy schedule get in the way of your vision. You will have to sacrifice two weeks of inconvenience for a lifetime of better vision. No doubt it is an inconvenience, and for Bode Miller his training had to come first, but it was important to hear his perspective on having LASIK and his sport. Hindsight can truly be 20/20!

LASIK is considered the most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S., it has helped more than 20 million Americans see clearly since it was first performed in the U.S. over two decades ago. The procedure has been especially popular with those who enjoy an active lifestyle as it reduces or eliminates the need for glasses and contact lenses. But is it right for you?

LASIK is an attractive option for those who live an active life such as athletes, pilots and service men and women. Certain individuals such as pilots and those in the military were previously unable to have LASIK due to the potential risk of a post-operative complication. The advancements in technology used today have greatly reduced the risks associated with the procedure and have lain to rest previous concerns. 

LASIK vision correction has improved the quality of life of millions of people who enjoy an active lifestyle. As with any medical procedure, there are risks so it is important to choose an experienced LASIK surgeon who has your best interests in mind.
