Astigmatism, LASIK Eye Surgery, Vision Correction
Not everything a celebrity does is newsworthy but as a culture we are enamored with the goings on of the Hollywood elite especially when their influences make us feel as if they could be like us. When we use the same makeup brand, shop at the same grocery store or experience any similar highs or lows in life, there’s a sense that the gap between the rich, famous, extravagant world of celebrities is not that wide after all, especially when it comes to services that cost the same and produce the same results despite the social and economic dividing line. As interest in LASIK has continued to soar over the years for its benefits including little to no downtime and nearly immediate improvement to vision, relating to famous celebrities who have undergone LASIK surgery is an added comfort for some to start the discussion on how LASIK will be the right fit for you too.
Many people assume celebrities have access to the best of everything in life. The truth is that although they may have a greater reach to certain things because of social status or financial wealth, not everyone wants the same things or that being a celebrity means they need a particular product or service. This includes LASIK surgery that has a set list of criteria no matter how famous you may be. To qualify as a LASIK surgery candidate, you must be at least 18 years of age, not pregnant or breastfeeding, have stable vision for 2 years, no current eye problems, have healthy and thick enough corneas, have pupils that are not too large, and your current lens prescription needs to be within a certain range. Conditions that may prohibit one’s ability to get LASIK include autoimmune disorders, diabetes, chronic pain conditions, rheumatoid arthritis and depression.
LASIK is a popular choice for those who want permanent correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Celebrities who play sports, who perform under bright lights of a stage and spend hours rehearsing and filming with lots of movement, often choose LASIK surgery to make their jobs easier without the obstruction of glasses or the maintenance of contact lenses. Famous celebrities who have undergone LASIK and have become spokespeople claiming their success with LASIK include athletes Greg Maddux, Troy Aikman, Tiger Woods, LeBron James and Lindsey Vonn, musicians and singers like Taylor Swift, Elton John, Michael Bolton, actors like Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt and Dennis Quaid, and personalities like Kim Kardashian and Jimmy Fallon.
While following the lead of these famous faces may pique your interest in LASIK, laser eye surgery is a life-changing procedure.
