LASIK for athletes

Many athletes are turning to LASIK vision correction surgery to eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. For athletes, both glasses and contact lenses can be a problem, despite special lenses and glasses worn in the past to improve an athlete’s vision.

Glasses slip and slide as the athlete sweats, affecting important training and game plays and eye injuries involving broken glasses are common in hospital emergency rooms, creating a hazard that athletes would rather avoid.

Contact lenses can fall out and sweat, dirt and other airborne irritants can get underneath them and cause infection, great discomfort and reduced vision.

LASIK vision correction surgery is the logical alternative, reducing safety concerns and allowing the athlete to enjoy the sport.
